Don't touch that soldering iron without first consulting them!
With military bands still being mostly quarantined and only doing occasional rehearsals or video, it’s hard to get too picky about amount of rehearsal time spent. I thought they all did a great job for the inauguration. Mad props to the trumpeter who set up Garth Brooks, and to the Army Herald Trumpets - ridiculously hard to sound that good and play so in tune after sitting in the cold forever! I don’t miss that one bit!
Roseanne Barr's performance was such a disgrace. Whoever thought that she would make a good fit for that job had another thing coming.
@kehaulani I agree - classy and very well done. No complaints, especially compared to some renditions.
I did one of these a while ago - cool horn but not a great player. Played best with an extra deep short shank mpc.

Do you prefer the old format (what you see right now), or the "new" format (what you saw yesterday, 1/14/21)?

If I login using Microsoft Edge, everything on the page is frozen. I get logged in normally when I use Google, which is what I am now using.
I wonder how many others are locked out and unable to complain because they don't know the admin's e-mail address.
Good question, that's why I'm trying to get to the bottom of this issue.

I read in an ITG Journal a while back, that drilling a standard mouthpiece throat is not a good idea because they balance the throat with the backbore at the factory. That being said, I use a custom one-off mouthpiece (Mt. Vernon-style 2C rim / cup, 24 throat, 24 backbore). Give it a shot and have a few friends with keen ears do some blind tests.
You might want to try it. The back pressure of a cornet is, of course, different than a trumpet. However, I do prefer the 24/24 combo myself. It takes more air.
