@dr-go Maybe it was March Fourth (or forth).

Yes, National Marching Band Directors Day

@grune

Yeah, seems the jazz players today play very angry. I don't know, but the thing I liked about players like Bobby Hackett, when he played a ballad like Stardust, he improvised but he was still with the melody and you always knew the song he was playing.

My Allen ADC-420 arrives tomorrow so I am very excited.

Gotta show us the pics when it arrives.

For sure!!

I want to play like this. It's so moving.

The Moog Synthesizer has a key hook up to patch an mic through the Synthesizer. I use a standard Sure Microphone as whey you are having wave forms created from the original trumpet input, I do not think the mic choice would be much of a variable (at least on a synthesizer).

Thanks for enlightening me, Barliman. I did some research and found the name of the movie, the full cast and what not. The movie was called A Song Is Born and was released in 1948. I would have been 12 years old then so that's probably why I had never heard of the movie before.

@barliman2001
Thank you so much , sir. Not only unbelievable, but inspiring, too.

@trumpetsplus said in Jaeger Brass moving to Germany:

@trumpetsplus I already have the Resonance Enhancers and my special trigger linkage system for additional valves (Quarter tone, Ascending C/D, in tune Bb/C, double bell) plus the range extender third valve slide, I expect to do more of this type of work, and such other custom work as comes up.

I have the resonance enhancers on both my Bb Strads, the trumpet and cornet. They really do work, and a friend of mine is using them too after borrowing one of my sets and deciding he wanted some. You can see them between the valves on this picture.

There are great deals on the trumpets. Most of the models are in stock.

Mike, all the best for a speedy recovery!

I got it straightened out.

@kehaulani

For me the very thought of losing my eyesight is terrifying. I have been dealing with Glaucoma for the last 20 years. Drops keep the pressure at an acceptable level, but there was nerve damage to my left eye before they found I had Glaucoma. That damage causes weird things to happen, but I have learned to live with it.

I have so much respect for you, kehaulani. You have gone through hell and no one should ever have to deal with even an eighth of what you have. You have so much knowledge of music, and I know how much it must hurt to be unable to play the trumpet when things get bad for you.
I hope and pray that your health will improve enough for you to get back on the horn.
George

@ssmith1226 Afghanistan does appear to have some harsh music critics!

One can only hope that no one there plays the Bagpipes or Banjo.

@dale-proctor said in Funny story that's sort of trumpet related...:

I sat next to John Williams in a trumpet section years ago. No, not that John Williams…lol

A few years before Brassed Off, my concert band had the honour of playing a set directly after Grimethorpe had given an absolutely spellbinding, vituoso performance of the Lohengrin Prelude.

So I duly settled into the chair just vacated by THE Alan Morrison :

... and launched into Girl from Ipanema.

And that, my dear friends, is the very definition of the phrase 'from the sublime to the ridiculous'.

@administrator said in New Toy (not a trumpet):

C8? I want one.

It is the C8 with the Z51 Performance package which is top of the line! To be expected from an Engineer employed as a consultant for Wright Patterson Airforce Base.

@dr-go

Explanation accepted, sir.

Question for the OP that I should have asked in the first place. Was there any sign of visible bruising after the original injury?

@barliman2001

Prayers for a swift recovery.
