Trumpet requires such high internal pressures, I'm surprised more people don't have medical issues. Do you think that playing a lower brass instrument could be a valid solution?

Saw this farm a couple of weeks ago. I have seen it probably a hundred times, but this time I saw it differently. Stopped on the side of the road and took several pics. And hereβs what I came up with. Hopewell, NJ farm.
I love it!

If you get rejected...
I apologize. I get about 5-10 spam user requests a day and yours may have fallen into that category. Please try again and it should work the second time.

@administrator How does lt play?
It's a little out-of-tune, if you get my drift.

I've heard it's fantastic, but tough. Great for a student to earn their tuition!

RE: Just an update and a warning
So, I would clarify that what this individual does is 100% legal. He sells a program, you hand over the cash and he gives you access to the program.
The problem is that the general market value of what he offers is probably 15% of what he charges. So, kinda like a used car dealer. It's legal but probably unethical.

Some of you may be aware of Matt Brockman and his dishonest practice with The Brock Trumpet or Trumpet Mastery. You may not be aware that he scammed $6800 out of me and I have spent months trying to enlist legal help to stop him from doing this to others. I will admit he has a pretty good racquet and hiding scheme. However, you and I know false words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. I was not able to stop this dishonorable man but my hope is that someone will. He is cruel.
Please describe in detail your experience.

RE: You've never heard Kuhlohorn like this
@J-Jericho said in You've never heard Kuhlohorn like this:
Dimensions and sound appear quite similar to a flugelhorn, but with a more rounded wrap.
From what I read, the design is based off a flugelhorn.

RE: What is this instrument?! -- Ebay / Internet finds sticky
@barliman2001 said in What is this instrument?! -- Ebay / Internet finds sticky:
@administrator That is not an oddity - these things are still played in many European wind bands when they don't have French horn players...
It seems like it may sound close to a posthorn, or corno da caccia?
It's a real oddity in the USA!

RE: What is this instrument?! -- Ebay / Internet finds sticky
I bought this one too. I guess I like oddities.

RE: Greasy Valve Stem Felts
PSA: If anybody is using WD-40, or any other kind of penetrating oil on their trumpet....STOP!!!
Please, clean your trumpet thoroughly with dish soap or simple green. Never, ever use these kinds of chemicals on a trumpet. There are more than enough chemicals designed to be used with brass instruments. Not only do these chemicals do weird things to the brass and valves, but they can seriously impact your health.

RE: Proper Embouchure?
I learned a simple method. Say "m" like your about to say "mickey mouse". Now keep your lips in that position. They should be a bit moist. Now put the mouthpiece to your lips without adjusting anything. Blow.
That's about it. When you breathe, be sure to NOT reset your embouchure. Breathe from the sides of your mouth.

I didn't watch it. I was too busy watching the paint dry in my apartment.
