Qualified Repair Techs

What's the trumpet?

I have been able to get excellent sound for around $2000, but you have to look carefully and maybe have some soldering skills.

Oh, this thread went on much longer than I thought!

I ended up purchasing several horns, but for Bb, I bought an Olds Super Recording (jazz/commercial) and a Thein MH One (classical). They are both very fine instruments.

@rowuk said in How are deleted accounts handled?:

There are laws about retaining data when membership expires. Most software gives the user(member) a choice of just leaving or removing all traces. If someone leaves mad, the chance of them caring about their footprint in this or any other forum is about zero. That is why we need positive interaction between us. Then if life determines that we have no time - or ambition, we remain a member but simply do not visit.

Now, banning does not delete an account. It just removes someones ability to post. I know of no admins that delete more than abusive posts.

Yes, I believe this is correct. I can delete your data IF you request it according to law in whatever jurisdiction you are located.

A general philosophy I try to instil into learners that I work with, I recommend not to practice until you get it right, but rather to practice until you cannot get it wrong.

This is fantastic advice! Practice doesn't make perfect--practice makes permanent.

Circular breathing to me is a bit of an "esoteric" technique, yet a part of me wishes I could pull off what Sergei Nakariakov can do. I have personally witnessed him play the Haydn Cello Concerto transcription on flugelhorn, where he double-tongues while circular breathing. It was flawless and utterly breathtaking.

Thanks, your posts are excellent. Please stick around.

That's great, @Dr-GO !!

This is a topic which I thoroughly enjoy. Would love to build my own speakers one day, but for now, I have a solid amplifier which I use to power either 2 or 4 speakers. I try some, trade some here or there. It's a fun hobby.

@administrator I’m specifically talking about Dr. Mark who has left marks all over the forums. I don’t know if his account was deleted by himself or you.

Even for deleted accounts, does it make sense to hide their names? It’s a bit of a usability problem for subsequent readers. Are you legally obligated to delete their record from the user database or something?

It's a function of the software. I don't recall ever being given the choice.
