They were made by a man who dedicated his life to all things trumpet and had the ability to refine what aspects of the trumpet he could, resulting in remarkable achievements. I believe that incorporating a considerable amount of weight at the rim may have had an acoustic effect similar to, but perhaps more pronounced than Olds and Bach Megatone, and perhaps Conn, to a lesser degree, which have the weight concentrated at the rear body of the mouthpiece.

RE: Future survival of this forum
TrumpetBoards offers comprehensive, perhaps even exhaustive, access to all things trumpet-related and beyond. It is easy to use. We have members who are capable of answering any questions asked, and we are welcoming to all who participate. We address subjects beyond trumpets for those who acknowledge that the trumpet, however large or small a part of one's life, is still a part that is not exclusive of other aspects.
For those who prefer Trumpet Herald, perhaps bringing the same subject up on each forum and comparing the responses might be interesting. I don't understand why there is so little participation here, and yet there is that reality.

RE: YouTube Suggestion
@ssmith1226 The close-ups of his face show how little needs to change in order access all registers. Also, I could have posted this in https://trumpetboards.com/topic/1427/transcribe-this-one?_=1699386841517 .

RE: Mute Clarification?
My interpretation would be an actual derby/bowler instead of a derby mute; it seems to suit the piece reasonably well. It's stiff enough and round enough to suit its purpose as a mute.

RE: Bots are getting scary
... and part of AI is the totality of science fiction, including scenarios in which the robots take over... and not in a benevolent way. Will some systems focus on good, while others demand evil? Will there be bot wars? Stay tuned; the future is coming.

RE: Fun hooter for "those" gigs...
@l-a-horn said in Fun hooter for "those" gigs...:
You can't use it in an orchestra, wind band or big band because you're not correctly playing it. The drunken vulture means that it should be played while toasted. It'll sound remarkable!
One can only imagine the remarks!
