    • Who is the "administrator?"

      I decided to reveal myself to the world so there is less "mystery" behind the site. Plus, one former trumpet forum went down, and not a single person knew who the owner was!

    • Why TrumpetBoards.com?

      Welcome, newcomers. You may have been familiar with the now (seemingly) defunct forum TrumpetMaster. Or, you may be a regular user of TrumpetHerald. My goal as creator and admin of TrumpetBoards is bring together the positive experiences of both, while solving some of the problems that occurred in past forums. Here are a few of the features that distinguish our community:

      • State of the art software: I am a professional software engineer and am committed to bringing you the best experience with the staunchest security.
      • Unlimited photo & file uploads at the click of a button: Simply click "upload" and your photo is there. Couldn't be easier!
      • Embedded Videos: Just past the URL from Vimeo or Youtube and it appears.
      • Groups: Join the "Martin Committee" club or "Old Guys" club...just for fun!
      • Events posting: Post your event along with an embedded calendar. Soon to come -- google maps showing exactly where your event will be!
      • Easy internationalization: Change your menu languages in the click of a button.
      • Credentialed Professionals & Sellers: Know who to trust. No more will pros get flamed by 12 year-olds and not have a way of defending themselves. Of course, we always welcome 12 year-olds too!
      • Classifieds are just posts: Create your classified ad as a post. If a seller is a "Trusted Seller," that means that they are either a well-respected member of the trumpet community or they have had 5 positive sales interactions on this site.

      Those are just a few of the many, exciting developments to come. So, please join in the fun!

    • RE: TrumpetMaster Format

      I understand there is some lingering sentimentality with TM. However, I am not the owner of that site, nor am I attempting to reproduce it. I simply saw an opportunity to fill a gap. As far as objective design standards go, this site is 10x better than TM and 100x better than TH.

      I don't know, it seems it would be hard to fly one while you practice.

    • RE: RIP Trumpet "Master"

      I vote to have a "Troll / Wannabe" group, just in case.

      Captured one of the best shots I have ever gotten while snowshoeing this weekend.

    • RE: RIP Trumpet "Master"

      Just reading the train-wreck that is the "Chicago Symphony on Strike" thread on TH, I'm hoping to keep that stuff to a minimum here, but I guess we shall see. With @Tobylou8 on here, we may not make it very far 🙂

    • BrassReview.com is Missed

      I miss having this website available...so, I'm thinking of doing it again and starting my own! However, this time, I want to eventually expand it beyond brass instruments. Sound like a good idea? Any suggestions?

    • Trusted Sellers

      While you any registered member can post a for sale/wanted ad, I have created a new group called "Trusted" sellers. This group will consist of people who have had five positive sales interactions on the forum so far. I am still working on how to determine this...so please post your ideas here. It's a bit of a compromise from the old format on TrumpetMaster and the format on TrumpetHerald, but I believe that it will work.

      Roseanne Barr's performance was such a disgrace. Whoever thought that she would make a good fit for that job had another thing coming.

    • Styles and Formatting

      Do you prefer the old format (what you see right now), or the "new" format (what you saw yesterday, 1/14/21)?

    • RE: Issues Loggin In?

      @georgeb said in Issues Loggin In?:

      If I login using Microsoft Edge, everything on the page is frozen. I get logged in normally when I use Google, which is what I am now using.
      I wonder how many others are locked out and unable to complain because they don't know the admin's e-mail address.

      Good question, that's why I'm trying to get to the bottom of this issue.

    • RE: Bach Symphonic Mouthpieces

      I read in an ITG Journal a while back, that drilling a standard mouthpiece throat is not a good idea because they balance the throat with the backbore at the factory. That being said, I use a custom one-off mouthpiece (Mt. Vernon-style 2C rim / cup, 24 throat, 24 backbore). Give it a shot and have a few friends with keen ears do some blind tests.

    • RE: Bach Symphonic Mouthpieces

      You might want to try it. The back pressure of a cornet is, of course, different than a trumpet. However, I do prefer the 24/24 combo myself. It takes more air.

    • RE: Bach Symphonic Mouthpieces

      I have played both. Don't bother with the second option if you're not a pro orchestra player.

      You may find a richer sound, but it will cost you more work. May I ask what it is you're trying to achieve?

      Print is still too light. Is there a way to darken it?

      Yes, I will need to edit the styles. It may be a few days.

      Responses need to be larger, darker text so they stand out from quotes, signature lines, etc.

      I agree
