'Allo, all. I am new to the forum and new to the trumpet as well. I've spent a bit over a decade gigging on electric bass. I also play sax (barimatone saxamophone) and flute competently enough to sit it. I do some noodling about on the drums and keyboard, but would not say I'm ready for the stage. This trumpet thing is unlike anything else I can get around on. I tried it once in third grade an ended up choosing woodwinds as a pursuit to avoid the itchy lips that a trumpet did unto me. Now, forty plus years later, I've decided to give it another go, mainly because I bought a King trumpet as an affordable house loaner for guests, quickly realizing that I could make some noises. Now I'm getting hooked and seeing it as a challenge to learn how to get about on the thing. Switching from sax to flute took me about a month of fiddling and figuring. I've never played any brass instruments, so this is all new to me. Glad to be hear. Hey, howdy, hiya and all that business. I look forward to learning from more competent tooters!
