  @ROWUK said in Announcing Second Site:

  I do not even trust reviews by top players. I know too many with a flavor of the month.

  It would be cool if we had standard things to try and rate:

  Octave intonation how well it speaks at ppp in the low, medium and upper register how well we hear ourselves indoors how well we hear ourselves “outdoors” pitch stability during a crescendo pitch stability with a decrescendo Proportion of core to halo (a lot of thought must go into this test) relative loudness where the sound becomes “brilliant” Stability of horn playability with various mouthpieces Do certain notes “pop out”? ergonomy

  retest results after 3 months

  Feel free to add additional tests. This basically outlines my procedure to buy a new trumpet. All my students learn this and we use it when buying the “second” instrument.

  For 2, are you asking how it sounds, or how easily it speaks?
  For 7, I assume you would look for evaluation from ppp to fff, since typically that relationship shifts.

  Thanks, I'm enjoying the site and its improved format. I still have a number of fixes and tweaks to make, so please be patient as this is a learning path for me.

  I've lived in various places, but mostly the western United States. I was born in California, grew up near Fort Collins, Colorado. Lived in Boise, Idaho, Colorado Springs, CO, Boston MA, Worcester, MA, Pawtucket, RI, Southbury, CT and various parts of Utah, where I now reside.

  Outside of the US, I have visited Canada, Mexico, Belize, Japan, So. Korea, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary & Turkey. It's always difficult when people ask you "What's your favorite place to travel to?" The answer (incidentally, it's the same when I'm asked what my favorite food group is) usually sounds something like "Whatever my most recent trip was!"

  I have some pretty neat connections in the music world and have studied with some really fantastic musicians. One of my mentors was a direct student of James Stamp. Another was a student of Roger Voisin, and I am good friends with two ITG Presidents. I have performed live with Marc-Andre Hamelin, Sam Pilafian and other great musicians. I have heard countless trumpet maestros perform live, mostly at the ITG Conference. I even met Maurice Murphey two years before he passed. That was a real treat!

  I am a member - decided to join when MH370 went down off the WA coast, and thought there may be a need for a Bugler. Bought a Getzen Field Bugle. I have never been called upon, but have introduced an American friend from New York City who has emigrated here.

  I play regularly for ANZAC Day on the British Bugle.
  Still enjoy the BAA Newsletters, and always ready - if needed.

  @Niner said in Trusted Sellers:

  Later it was found out the whole thing was a big misunderstanding and the person labeled a crook was nothing of the kind. The "expert" came back with an apology all around and life went on. However the damage to the reputation of the person blasted had already been largely done.

  This is why I say, "I love mankind, It's just that people get in the way"
