[Trombone-l] Redefining a low B flat

[Chris Dearth]

So I'm guessing that would be bigger than a Schilke 60?  ;-)

Astronomically, the size of a black hole is quite small.  There are two
possible measurements for the size - 1) the size of the singularity (the
point all the matter collapses to) - a single point, or 2) the more common
measurement - the event horizon.

The event horizon is the location from the black hole where the escape
velocity equals the speed of light.  Astronomically, this is still very
small.  For example, if our sun were to become a black hole, its event
horizon would be about 3km.

Therefore I go with the theory that the mouthpiece would have to be at least
the size of a solar system, if not a galaxy.
