RE: Four on the Floor (Bachs, that is…)
Will you try to better Gunhild Carling by playing them all at once?

RE: A little humour
Just happened upon this Norman Rockwell painting... I am sure someone can identify the trumpet!

European Folklore Festival, again
It's that special time of the year again, and I am heading north with a small party from Brass Band Vienna to join Coronation Brass for their umpteenth participation in the European Folklore Festival in Bitburg, Germany... four days with four gigs each, no music beforehand, it's sit down and play... sight-reading old favourites and the whole time-honoured cheeseboard, with a few older test pieces thrown in for good measure... this year, the line-up of participations has more brass-related interest: Several big bands, a New Orleans-style brass band, couple of oompah outfits and the local ruffians who have evolved into a large wind orchestra of some quality... Anyone in the area from 12 July onwards should head there and get their ears full of brass playing of all sorts... meet Coronation Brass and have a few free beers with them - Bitburg, after all, is a small town next to a big, big brewery... they say the brewery employs more people than are living in the town...

@Dr-GO They can't be found on the web - that is for certain.

RE: Bach 7C CORP mouthpiece with no dot
@Dale-Proctor My guess is that it's an early Elkhart mouthpiece, which is identical to the preceding Mt. Vernon version. I wonder why it was so noticeably changed after that.

RE: Mouthpieces for early Buescher True Tone Trumpets--what works?
@TrueToneGoldWash On my collection of Bueschers - a #12 with Bb to A rotor valve, a #9 and a 243 - that they work best with cheapo Arnold & Sons Bach clones if you shorten the shank by about 4 millimetres and take off the outside silver plate on the shank - or use an Arnold & Sons cornet mouthpiece with a suitably altered converter. And Arnold & Sons mouthpieces (sometimes marketed as Stoelzel) are reliable clones of good Bach mouthpieces, at ridiculously low prices...
Unaltered Arnold & Sons mouthpieces work very well wth all my other horns... Courtois Balanced, Olds Recording, Gaudet C, Courtois D...

RE: Top Ten Best Pieces Of Music Written For Trumpet
I would substitute Vincent Bach's Hungarian Melodies for one of the above (I have one in particular in mind).
Here's a very nice performance:
