    • RE: 1957 Pristine Selmer K-Modified needs a home

      @oldschooleuph
      I agree. Beautiful horn. Sell it for what it's worth. If you do donate -- please give to a VERY deserving student who will take very good care of said horn and appreciate the generosity.

    • RE: Jackie Gleason Plays Cornet

      @tjcombo said in Jackie Gleason Plays Cornet:

      Apart from the funny, cornety bits, a couple of things struck me in that video.. First was what a great quality clip it was. Not sure whether the originally episode was on film or maybe it was restored.
      The other was Gleeson's character waving his fist in his wife's face on a coupler of occasions. What was funny and normal has certainly changed, dare I suggest, for the better.

      Right? Granted, I don't think the schtick was that he actually threatened her, but it's an interesting cultural thing to note.

      I liked the message of the episode as a whole.

    • RE: What have I here?

      I don't know. I thought he was in Utah, turns out he is in Texas. So I guess I'll never know.

    • What have I here?

      I reached out to this man (he speaks Spanish) about these trumpets for sale. The only one which interests me is the silver-plated horn in the middle. He told me that it's a "Coon" [sic] -- obviously it's a Conn, but I am keen to know which model. It looks fairly nice and if he only wants $150 could be a steal.

      Just when I thought that I was making progress in my comeback i found this video. Below the video is a link about the featured musician.

      https://weartv.com/news/local/this-incredible-young-trumpet-player-will-blow-you-away

      I like it, a lot. Someday I want to teach my kids to play and have a family brass band.

    • RE: Taiwanese Trumpets

      @curlydoc said in Taiwanese Trumpets:

      Any experiences with John Packer instruments?

      I've heard good things, but no experience myself.

      Bill Pfund trumpets are made in PRC and then he modifies them in his workshop. Good horns at an affordable price.

    • RE: where are they made ?

      @grune

      Do we differentiate between Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers? My experience with Taiwanese makers has been fairly positive.

      @newell-post said in where are they made ?:

      The Bach website still says "Made in the USA." But that might mean the parts are made all over the world and a little final soldering is done in Ohio.

      Yeah, that doesn't mean much anymore I'm afraid.

      The Ambassadors were great instruments for the price.

      @trumpetpaul822
      I don't know of many brands made in the USA, other than boutique brands. Bach Stradivarius, which is owned by Conn-Selmer, is still made here.

    • RE: Taiwanese Trumpets

      @flugelgirl said in Taiwanese Trumpets:

      My Puje has a Carol valve block and plays very well. It’s also rare that I see a problem with a Jupiter valve block, unless the oil on it is too thick. The tolerances on new Jupiter are pretty tight. I actually keep a Jupiter intermediate under my bench for practice when I don’t bring a horn to work - it’s no replacement for my Adams, but it does play very well! Jupiter 1100 series are more of a stripped down pro model than a dressed-up student, and do quite well as a lower priced model.

      Would you recommend a Taiwanese trumpet over, say a Bundy, for a new student?

      @grune said in Favorite Music:

      @dr-go uh, then why did America invade Korea and Vietnam? Korea was not a combatant in WW2, and Vietnam never threatened USA in any way, and neither had much economic value to the USA.

      Now THERE's a long story!

      @grune said in Favorite Music:

      @ssmith1226 All very true. As much as I wish to, I shall refrain from adding comments about wars, to respect the TB rules banning politics. What is war if not politics? Well, you seem to agree the song and performance by Lay, with his magnificent voice, is indeed moving, so I believe I have made my points about the performance, message, politics. I believe truly, were the world ruled by musicians, we would not have wars.

      I don't think war history is necessarily "politics." Certainly, that played a role. I doubt anybody would be offended by what you have to say about WWI, though.
