Finally figured out posting photos! Here is a shot of my Schlub flugelhorn.

Arturo does have a Harrelson...but to be completely honest and fair...he has a LOT of different trumpets.

The guy has jumped from one brand to another to another for years. I think some are gifted to him by makers hoping he’ll love it and cause the rest of us to go “If Arturo likes it, it must be really good... I’m going to buy one!”.

I know of a handful of websites that claim Arturo plays their horn/mouthpiece. It’s a claim to fame!

I’d love to see a candid, non biased interview with him where he addresses his love for trumpet gear.

After a couple years of patina. The picture isn’t the best quality...but gives you an idea.

We could sit here talking about a former/banned member all day...but what is the point? Gossip? Trash talk? I would hope we’re better than that.

I suggest we move on to conversation and topics that are actually interesting and worthwhile!

Gents,

It’s time to end this. Take it to private messaging if you must, but please let it be done in the public threads.

Now, that is condescending!

Not to be confused with dropping a 12A cornet down a flight of stairs.

Sold!!!!

I did not teach myself trumpet...but I used that knowledge to teach myself French horn, euphonium, piano, and various percussion instruments.

Once you have the basics, many instruments are fairly easy to pick up.

Mastery generally requires coaching though.

Many singers call notes as they are on piano (in terms of octaves).

The lowest note on piano being A0...the next octave being A1, then A2...etc...etc

I don’t see why other instruments couldn’t do the same. That’s about as easy as it can get.

Sold!!!!

Sale pending.

If you have easy access to the show/episode in question, it should be in the end credits.

Hello TB community!

This beauty of a custom flugelhorn is still available for purchase.

For anyone that is looking for a unique, world class instrument…this is a great way to get one without a long wait and for substantially less money than a brand new horn.

Feel free to reach out to me or Omaits music with any questions. The horn is listed through Omaits (see link in my first post).

Happy playing!

Still available!

That’s where this post is!

Hello all,

The time has come for me to sell my beloved, custom made, Schlub flugelhorn.

I won’t go into the details, but this horn just doesn’t get the play time it deserves…so it’s time to go to a new owner.

Here is the link to the listing (on consignment at Omaits music in Ohio). Feel free to reach out to me or Omaits with any questions.

@Newell-Post said in I'm desperate and at a lost with reactions to metal mouthpieces.:

@tmd He didn't say he's not allergic to silver or brass. (Sorry for the double negative.)

This was my immediate reaction (pun intended).

The vast majority of instrument mouthpieces have silver plating. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe gold plated mouthpieces are silver plated first...???

My first suspect would be silver, closely followed by brass.

Neither. The kids give their guns to a guy who in turn gives them a trumpet.

The guy then gives the guns to the police.

Such an elegant look. I really like the “serpentine” braces.
