Keep it simple - no profanity, no name calling, nothing unrelated to trumpets/cornets/flugelhorns/etc. and musical topics in general. That gives topics a pretty wide latitude without excessive rules. Be civil to your fellow members if there’s a disagreement on some point, and keep things PG in case younger people are looking in.

Railroad Photography
Anyone here into photographing railroad subjects? Years ago, I was interested in both photography and trains, and took a lot of photos of them, mostly with an old Miranda 35mm camera. I still like photography, but I don’t chase trains any more...lol
Anyway, to get things started, I’ll post a few of the ones I’ve taken for any who are interested. Feel free to post any you have taken, but please don’t post generic pics found on the net.

I found a copy of American Drummer Boy on Ebay. Love civil war stuff.....
I ran across this screen shot of me playing Eb cornet in the movie. That’s me on the end by the stair.

Happy 4th of July!
Hope you all have a happy and safe upcoming 4th, even those of you in other countries. Here’s a photo I took a number of years ago that is appropriate.

I saw this cool jazz trio on a walk through the neighborhood this morning. Can you dig it?

RE: Vintage Horn Eye Candy
Not much eye candy here, but I just ran across photos of a couple late 1960s trumpets I used to own. The first is a Conn 22B Victor, and the second is a Conn 15B Director.

RE: A self introduction:
Welcome! Our local concert band sponsors a New Horizons program, and a few folks have already “graduated” to the concert band. Glad to hear you’re playing again and hope you have fun with it.

RE: Odd Mouthpice
@Newell-Post said in Odd Mouthpice:
Well, according to my trusty micrometer, it mics out at 0.419" at the receiver and 0.363" at the tip, which doesn't match any of the dimensions Dale kindly provided. It's probably something made for some antiquated brand of mellophone that doesn't exist any more.
I’d say you truly have an odd mouthpiece, then…

@Newell-Post
According to the chart, the end of the alto horn shank is larger than a trumpet shank, and you previously said the mystery mouthpiece shank is smaller than a trumpet shank. -
RE: Odd Mouthpice
My guess is that it’s a mellophone mouthpiece. Although the Bach cup diameter measurements don’t agree with yours, the Bach literature indicates the 7 mellophone mouthpiece cup diameter is 2.5 mm wider than the Bach 3C cornet mouthpiece.

RE: $800 Box of Mouthpieces!
@Bb-Brass said in $800 Box of Mouthpieces!:
I like the plastic box you use. Did you upcycle something? Looks like an organizer for nuts and bolts.
I bought a 2-pack of them in the craft area of the local Wal-Mart. Perfect size for trumpet and cornet mouthpieces, but I haven’t seen any there in a couple years.

RE: Odd Mouthpice
Bach flugelhorn mouthpieces do have a slightly smaller shank than a Yamaha, but the size would typically be marked 7FL. Could it be a cornet mouthpiece? A Bach 7 cornet piece would have a really deep cup.
