Stainless is harder than mild steel thus does not vibrate as
well. This is why a soft copper tail pipe from silencer (muffler)
gives a nice note. My hunting horn is copper and its tone would be
horrible if it was stainless steel (although I would not have to
polish it so often !!!! How many stainless steel wind instruments
have you seen? You would be even happier with a mild steel exhaust
