That makes sense, I've heard Shore's Lord of The Rings described as "wet" likely because of a little excessive sound reflection from the environment.

Something I read had a trumpet players sound being pinched like that of the oboe. That is why I jumped to "nasal" quality as a rough descriptor.

Unfortunate Ed isn't about. Thanks for your help.
