Very sad. Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, I would reach out to one of a few people. Also consider Michael Del Quadro of Del Quadro Trumpets.

Speaking of yard work, my wife and I spent about 30 hours replacing rotting wooden landscape timbers at the rear of the house with stone borders, as well as moving some plants and providing shallow steps from the yard to one of the bird baths. We redid a smaller natural area in the front yard, too. The total was about 225 stones. Yeah, we’re retired too…lol

It looks very nice. Do you have a big crop of cicadas this year?

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?

@administrator
How much do you love it?

Haha, I see where you're going! Someday I'll have to commission something.

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 here’s what I came up with. Hopewell, NJ farm.

I love it!

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!

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.

@Sadmusic said in Just an update and a warning:

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.

@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.

@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!

I bought this one too. I guess I like oddities.

This thread is a place for oddities and unknowns. Let's start with this. Wagner tuba, maybe?
