The fact that there is debate, and that people don't take Vern's bet might 
be an indication that if there is a difference it is too slight to be 
noticed alongside other far more significant factors. Embrochure, control of 
a resonant cavity, etc. seem to make a much larger difference in the sound.

When I'm optimizing computer code I don't bother with things that yield 
small returns and go directly to areas where there is the most significant 
return for time spent (cost). If you can just push a harp farther into your 
mouth, drop your jaw, open your throat, move your tongue, etc. and make a 
profound difference in your tone, why worry about something that nobody can 
prove that a listener can hear?

Peace and music,
Dave
