What can we do to build our user base? I believe that TH has something like 70k registered users. We only have 130 to date.

Better to have quality than quantity. Of TH's 70k, how many actually are actively visiting the site? I think more and more TM members will keep trickling in over time. Also, as content builds, people will end up here in threads by googling topics being covered here.

We can get a good sticky going for "How to Breathe."

And let us not even get started with English English vs American English.............

The WORSE case of rectal prolapse I've ever seen! Hell's bells, the damn thing looks like it has fibrosis as hard a brass.

Is that what is known as a "Culohorn" ?

Happy Halloween !!!!!!!

My favorite rendition is by Lee Morgan which he plays the melody unmuted then just wails on the solo.

Also, I've seen it listed both ways but for some reason thought that I had read that the original song title as being "Night in Tunisia" as opposed to the more time specific "A Night in Tunisia". Any insight?

Creepy bit of trivia: also the anniversary of Nixon resignation from the presidency AND the 50th anniversary of the Tate-LaBianca murders..........

Is what some people are calling "taking more air" in reality fatigue experienced by having to work harder at playing precisely with a trumpet that is less efficient?

I would beware of buying any off-brand trumpet made in Asia sight un-played. Trent Austin has a good video about this someplace..........

I'm not sure if it would be considered an "off-brand" but I believe that Carol Brass offers a lot of bang for the buck. Also, anything sold under the brand of trusted sellers on this forum ACB (Trent) or Jaeger Trumpets (Ivan) though not "major" brands would be good players (because they would not let anything leave their shop that was not) at a fair value........
