        DEG gimmicky trumpet. I do like the mute "quick change" feature. They can't fall out! I just wonder how it sounds to the audience!

          A little known fact is that DEG designed this for the Santa Clara Vanguards “backfield” moments, allowing the corps to face the audience while their horns were faced backfield. Then, in a cruel twist of fate they realized that the hornline would have to march backwards for the push, and that didn’t work out so well.

            I wonder what blowing your brains out in an on-field, marching corps situation would do to your hearing.

                Many old-time marching horns had that "over the shoulder" bell configuration. It was done because bands typically led the parade and marchers behind the band needed to hear the music. I've never seen a modern one, through.

                  But this does not extend over your shoulder with the sound going behind you, it goes right in your face.

                    @Kehaulani : it's like circular breathing, or exhaust gas recirculation 😷

                      Andy Taylor made a joke trumpet once called “Trumpet Makers Revenge”.

                      It was a screw bell trumpet with a second bell that literally (more so than the horn this thread is about) brought the bell within inches of the players face.

                      I believe he would bring it to conventions and offer players to test it out so he wouldn’t have to continually listen to attempts at double C’s and amateurs blasting their chops off in his direction. It would be a great horn to keep a trumpeter honest!

                      I’ll have to see if he still has a page about it on his website.

                        @Kehaulani : it's like circular breathing...:

                        Perhaps a different version of circular breathing. I, for one, practice only safe sax circular breathing.
