I recommend you put a wanted ad up on TrumpetHerald. That's the quickest path to success, IMO.

I suppose I don't have enough experience to make a qualified statement regarding these instruments. I retract my past statements, but for posterity's sake I will leave them up.

Those are wonky cornets. The trumpets are perfect for jazz. What are the cornets perfect for?

I have a Shepherd's Crook cornet for the occasional brass band style playing I do. I do not like American-style cornets. They play and sound just like trumpets.

Excuse me if I sound impertinent but how do you define "wonky" ?

To me, my experience with American cornets has been exceptionally mediocre. The ones I have played have been out of tune, stuffy, and trumpet-ty. That's not what I look for in a cornet.

I've only been to Japan once, and my stay was brief. However, I was very impressed with their culture. It's perfectly safe to walk the streets at night, and they keep those streets very clean and tidy.

Hello, Everyone! My wife and I were vendors at the Atlantic City Tattoo Expo this past weekend. No. We aren't tattoo artists. My wife reads Tarot, and we co-own a small shop that sells crystals, incense, spiritual items...

Anyway, we did fairly well at the Expo, but I spent most of my share on some new ink. What do you think? -Bob

I'm not personally interested in obtaining any tattoos, but I agree with you, that is a very simple, clean, design. Nicely done.

What model of trumpet is that? It looks like maybe a Conn?

I found this very nice specimen of a classic Schilke on my local classifieds. If anybody wants it and isn't local, I am willing to get it for you + $200 fee. Yes, I have no shame!

@kehaulani said in You know "those moments"?:

Back to instruments for a moment. It's been said that USSR instruments were not good in the post-WWII era. That may be correct, But the performers are likely playing on the same instruments they'd been playing on all along - in the pre-WWII era.

I’d like to get my hands on one to see how truly awful they are.

Wait, I amend my statement. It's Maxim (Dmitri's son) conducting and Dmitri Jr. (Maxim's son) at the piano. Both released on Chandos.
