How about this? I received an email from an Instagram follower that he had purchased a painting from a thrift store after realizing it was not a print but an original, and had my signature on it. Could I tell him any background information about it? he asked.
He sent me a good photo of it, and it even had a frame I had made some 42 years past. By the way, he paid $6.99 for the framed original.B37E7A5B-7754-41EC-A27E-FF4F38B48B77.jpeg

@OldSchoolEuph thanks - always fun to hear the real stories after hearing the rumors 😉

@stumac Phase is not what causes the frequency that we "hear". I find more evidence that the size and taper of the trumpet bell "amplify" frequencies starting in the second octave. An 1300 Hz horn is around 4.8" in diameter at the mouth according to horn theory... This would damp the fundamental which is below cutoff severely.

Hi Dr-GO,
It has a Mahavishnu Orchestra Visions of the Emerald Beyond sound to it.
Very Good!

@Kehaulani said in Does a large bore horn take more air?:

So I'm a little confused.

Could we summarize, then, in layman's terms, that the amount of air required doesn't necessarily depend upon what the bore size is but, rather, upon the collective design of the horn which includes a myriad of factors?

In other words, do some horns take "more air", horn-by-horn, depending on how it's constructed rather than on bore size alone?

Exactly this - horn by horn, depending on how it is constructed, how we hear ourselves, the efficiency of the entire body/mind/mouthpiece/trumpet/playing environment system. Even the term "amount of air" is not correct as our bodies have no measure of this except running out before a phrase is finished. We can believe that the horn is a loose blow indoors, we take it out to an open lake and the same system is like blowing into a brick wall!

@J. Jericho,
Great performance! Tremendous energy but needs more Trumpets!

Just re-watched "The Station Agent." That was a completely different type of movie, but it was Dinklage's first leading role, I think. It also had some interesting early parts by Bobby Cannavale (Will and Grace), Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek), and John Slattery (Mad Men).

@SSmith1226

Thanks, Steve, that was so sweet. The future of music is in great hands.

@flugelgirl
...sample pack makes good sense.

...sounds pretty slick to me!

The 1991 Getzen Eterna 900 LB that crossed my path one year ago made me sell most of my other horns...

Oops! The 1980 Getzen Eterna 900 ML that crossed my path one month ago makes me think selling the LB one...

@ROWUK

Haven't heard that phrase since I lived in London 40 years ago.

Agreed. Also, this is a new forum. If you had a beef with users on a previous forum, you have the right to remain silent! 🙂

FWIW, the virus lock-down hasn't affected my practicing at all. Other stuff, big time. But practicing and music-related activities. - no.

@Vulgano-Brother said in How do you feel about vibrato?:

@administrator I'm conscious of vibrato during rehearsals and practice, but in performance, I concentrate on the whole package, without focusing on the little parts.

Certainly. I would advocate a holistic awareness to our playing. Very few things can improve our playing more quickly.
