At the bottom of the homepage, I created a new category called "TrumpetMaster Archives." If you use the Wayback machine (https://archive.org/web/web.php), you can peruse TrumpetMaster before it crashed and post some useful content that existed there.

RE: Dual Citizenship
It is true that a dual citizen is bound by the laws of both countries, however, I have read a number of people who have done this already (with the Czech Republic) and they have had no issues. It seems that CZ is fairly transparent about what they expect from dual citizens. I don't see a lot of people warning about any "gray areas" here, so that's good.
From what I understand, there was a push about a decade ago to prevent this, but since 2014, this law has been in place. That's not to say that I shouldn't be cautious going forward, as laws can and do change, but, for now, it seems like there a number of advantages and few disadvantages. I'm not in either country's military, nor do I work for the government, so that eliminates one major concern. I'm in my mid 30s so likely not going to be conscripted for war.
Also, if I want to escape both countries I can just run away to a non-extradition country

RE: Trumpet Based βNewsβ Article
Most articles you read these days are going to be--at least partially--written by a bot. The goal is to drive traffic to the site, and thus to the advertisers, making money. If I added advertising to this site I could probably make more than $500 a month off it. Unfortunately, that's the reality of the web these days.

RE: Moderator out of action
No worries, I hope you feel better soon. This forum is rather tame.

I'm suspending new users for a couple of days
I'm really sorry, I have to suspend new user accounts for a couple of days while I deal with the overwhelming amount of Vietnamese online gambling spam. Ugh

RE: Laughter is the Best Medicine
@J-Jericho said in Laughter is the Best Medicine:
Q. What do you call the person who graduated last in class from medical school?
A. "Doctor".
As even unemployed musicians with a DMA still insist on being called "Doctor," I'm not sure what to call people anymore.

RE: How do you feel about vibrato?
Vibrato should be something we are always aware of in our playing. When we become aware, we gain control.

@georgeb said in AR Resonance Mouthpieces:
They sure are purty...
That's word-for-word what I was thinking! I love the design. So....these are NOT related to Adam Rapa in anyway, correct?

RE: Laughter is the Best Medicine
Ha. Perhaps! It's clever, though. Since you're a doctor, I'll let it slide.

RE: Please Help Me Understand Something (Pt 2)
@Kehaulani said in Please Help Me Understand Something (Pt 2):
Isn't it that the thread had run it's course?
This, and the thread was starting to get contentious and discussing sexual content which wasn't my purpose.

RE: Lifelong musician, beginning trumpeter
Welcome. I think you'll find it a fulfilling journey. Trumpet is an easy instrument to play, incredibly difficult to master. A private teacher will definitely help you, but once you get to the point where you can make some decent sounds it gets to be very fun and exciting.
