Books about Trumpets
-
Hi - with Christmas coming up I am being asked if I would books about trumpets - and I was wondering if anyone would have a suggestion for a history of Trumpets book?
-
This is a very good one, and I think they can still be found.
-
Acoustically or about trumpet players?

Acoustically... I believe he is looking for non-fiction.
-
What may be a bit nicer than a book would be Wynton Marsalis' dvd on History Of The Trumpet. I rented it not too long ago and found it extremely interesting. I'm thinking about buying it.

I have his book Moving to Higher Ground. Very good. More about blues and jazz theory, not so much about the trumpet.

Ummm, anybody ever notice my avatar?
full disclosure though - I'm planning a second edition that will be about 20% larger, hopefully this spring.

I think Ron was referring to his book, available at Amazon.

Guess that would exclude trumpets with rotary valves.

Rotary valve trumpets have springs, too - they just aren’t inside the valve case.

Some do, some are strung like French horn rotors, some have mechanical linkage without springs. Depends on age/ manufacturer

Don’t they all have a spring of some sort to return the valve?
-
@Dale-Proctor just between the paddles, not on the rotors themselves - more like springs on a trigger mechanism. When you said rotor springs it brought clockwork rotor springs to mind - those things are so weird! Key change rotors on some of the old Conn trumpets actually have a spring inside the rotor casing, on top of the spindle.
-
Yes, I have a rotary valve cornet, and there are return springs. Not on the valves themselves, but springs are involved in returning the valve to the straight through position. I was just responding to the bad joke Dr. Go was making a few posts ago.

Ha, ha... not a joke but it was 2/3 of a pun... PU.
