@BigDub A new YouTube demo painting is now available if you care to see it

I do not have a Callet trumpet but have one of his mouthpieces that he hand lathed for my Olds Recording in his studio when I lived in New York City. An amazingly wonderful individual.

My reply is more however based on you noting the more recent maker of his trumpet, Kanstul is now defunct. I have a Kanstul that recently had an issue that I was unaware a valve cap had fallen off. I tried on line to find a replacement and had a heck of a time (I have had no problems for instance finding parts for my 1946 vintage Martin Committee).

So out of desperation, I contacted Jason Harrelson to see if he has machined caps for the Kanstul, and he did. So I got a complete set of valve caps from him and they fit and work perfectly.

So if you doe need any replacement parts for your Callet, do contact Harrelson Trumpets and they would most likely accommodate your needs.

@administrator Watch the video. There are studies that compare different wind instrument effects on ocular pressure.

Played it loud and clear from the back deck of my home. Felt so good and even more proud.

i suggest reporting him to the Better Business Bureau - that's what I did - Bless your efforts and sorry for your experience

You, sir, get a 20,000% raise! 😁

Aw shucks... 😊

I took a new photo of my 1960 Conn 6B Victor, and included its case in the photo. The trumpet is in excellent original condition, and it’s just like the one I played in high school. I bought it on eBay years ago for $300 just for nostalgia, but it does play well. Not for sale, BTW…

@administrator How does lt play?

It's a little out-of-tune, if you get my drift.

I've heard it's fantastic, but tough. Great for a student to earn their tuition!

see this post ok?

I had a co-worker who went through college on a band scholarship. He said their entire trumpet section used STP as a slide lubricant.

I can’t imagine that working unless they thinned it out with some other oil. STP is as thick and stringy as honey.

It did work well. The drop of red colored solution was thinner than my UltraPure oil.
