Vintage Bach Club

With any vintage instrument it is a question of the true condition, how hard it was played previously and if it gets past these mechanical checks, if we can get the sound that we need.

Granted, there are people that get the warm fuzzies every time the word vintage falls. There it does NOT matter what a reality check is worth.

I would say that about half of the vintage instruments that I have ever played were not worth my time or effort. Pitch, intonation, valves and tone were simply not up to snuff. I have a lot of old instruments but they are ALL PLAYERS.

I do not consider the coprion bells to be special in any way except to the marketing departments. There are simply too many truly sensational instruments based on "standard techniques".

Interesting. Please tell us how it goes.

They're very pretty horns and a neat design. Very unique for its era. I think they look much better than they play.

You should oil your trumpet / cornet / flugelhorn probably min 1x a day (every day you play it, that is). You can't technically "over-oil" your horn; if you do so, you'll just end up with a bunch of nasty oil in your lap. You can, however, certainly under-oil it, and this could result in damage to your valves.

Hello and welcome!

@barliman2001 said in I'm suspending new users for a couple of days:

@administrator Probably just bots snding the same stuff over and over again... I've managed to ban those that I became aware of...

It's just that they're flooding in through the cracks faster than I can manage them.

I've had a couple. They aren't bad but certainly not professional level trumpets.

All you have to do is drag-n-drop. Super easy.

It's not working. I am willing to bet there is a bug in the version of software I'm using. I'll probably have to upgrade it. Ugh
