I'm back... Now with 100% full dentures and a long road of recovery

ButchA

I found my way back to playing Trumpet and Cornet all over again, after major, major, oral surgery, complete full dentures, etc... and re-learning how to play all over again.

Where there is a will, there is a way! It can be done!

@butcha Congratulations!! Well done!

Congrats, ButchA! Nice sound, BTW.

You're getting a nice sound. I bet you will get a lot of your chops back and maybe more. Good luck!

Dale Proctor

Best of luck for your return to trumpet playing. You’ve got the tone, so the rest should follow with a bit of work.

Congratulations I had two surgeries and a tooth infection that resulted in a lower partial. I still work on it each day. I found posting youtube vids helped me a little. I had something to work toward. I find I must use a very slight mouthpiece placement change.

Great to see and hear that you are alive and kicking, Butch. When I made my comeback in 2016 after a 50 year hiatus there was one big difference, I was now, at age 79, sporting a full upper denture and a partial lower denture. It was like learning to play all over again, but it can be done. You have the determination and the love for music that is needed so I have no doubts whatever that you will be playing well long before you think.
