On the 'db' end of this scale, it'll come up short.
'Suppoe we could have a yell off... a SAX and Tennor, maybe. I'll bet on the brass for db content....
In either case though, it's not the insturment so much as it is the nut playing it... Same way with voice.
I'd soon as hear plenty of insturments over plenty of voices.... as a rule the instruments will sound better... great singers are far harder to find than instruments. Brass and reeds don't need as much tuning care as do strings, or voices. They appear more the honest pitch and timber appliances than are human voices.
When both are on top of their game, I'll give the nod to the singer over the accompaniement or side men... usually. Alone? Instrumentalists? Well it's all about an emotive connection and music is exactly that... an emotive event.
