At any rate it is clear Jerry Lewis has some ability. If he wasn’t trying to be so goofy he could probably produce a fairly decent sound.

@dstpt

Oh, yes, he was indeed an inspiration. It was because of him that I did a comeback in 2016 at the age of 79, and that was after a 50 year hiatus from playing the horn.

@smokey7722 Austin Custom Brass has a number of good used Olds for sale. Good people to deal with!

I received my Curry Conn Shank Cornet mouthpiece. My actual cornet is at Osmun Music having its valves rebuilt. I was able to insert the Curry Conn Shank Mouthpiece into the receiver of a bandmate’s King Silver Tone Cornet of the same era. It fit perfectly. The standard shank mouthpieces that were loose in my cornet were similarly loose in his cornet. I did also try a short shank Yamaha cornet mouthpiece as well, but it also fit loosely.
Because of the covid situation, I did not try to play his cornet with the Conn Shank Mouthpiece. It appears that the Conn Shank is the proper fit. I will report further about the playability with the Curry Conn Shank Mouthpiece when I get my cornet back in September.

@administrator Adam’s brand = Lotus.

Two trumpet players, in a nicely lit-up state, talking about their fears...
Player 1: "I've got that constant fear of death."
Player 2: "Don't we all; what's so special about yours?"
Player 1: "That my wife, after I'm gone, will sell all the trumpets for the price I told her I paid..."

@walter-sk Microns separate easy and hard removal. It is still a simple job for a tech but "all your strength" could make the repair very costly.
I have had students with this problem. It can happen if one lays the trumpet down with the 2nd slide underneath. It takes a small hit (no dent) and it is microns out...

Anything with Sara Niemietz!

Wowie ! A killer arrangement of one of my favorite ballads. Louis nails it , as usual, and so does the young man playing beside him. Love that orchestra. Thanks for the vid, my friend.

Wow. Excellent work on all that detail.

Thanks, George!
I think I am happy with it.

@dale-proctor Niiiice... and don't worry about the lacquer... that's something Bach have never mastered...

@furcifer interesting as I still play my Getzen with their 3C cup. I did perform a cup safari with my Kanstul and finally settled on The Flip Oakes 3C cup. It has amazing depth that really allows you to play with the air you put into the horn leading to a spectrum of textures. Unfortunately the Flip Oakes has the Bach backbore so this does not fit into my Getzen. So, I am still playing on the Getzen 3C for that horn.

@administrator it actually plays really well! The trick is just finding a situation to play it in - not like there’s been any demand for it in modern groups!

@georgeb I'd say that his interview skills are on par with his other abilities. He certainly knew how to make her reach deep inside for answers to his questions. Wynton really makes people not only think, but also enables them to discover things about themselves that they hadn't considered before.

@j-jericho
No I haven't, didn't know about this site, I will look, thanks.
