RE: Is this the World's Brightest Trumpet?
@ACB said in Is this the World's Brightest Trumpet?:
@Dr-GO yeah I have owned one. Good horn but not nearly as bright as the Buescher.
That video is an oucher. I do really like the look of the horn, though. Art Deco is pretty darn awesome styling.

RE: Newby - Need help identifying a Conn Trumpet
Not the topic, I realize, but those are all fine looking horns. Somebody took care of them.

RE: need perfect pitch to play trombone ?
I know a trumpet player with perfect pitch. Actually, I know two. They are both fine trumpeters. That being said, one of them was my schoolmate and I still regularly beat him in auditions. I have decent relative pitch. Trombone is mostly about the muscle memory, just like trumpet.

RE: Trumpets Made ONLY by Their Maker
@ACB said in Trumpets Made ONLY by Their Maker:
@administrator fyi Harrelson uses Carol Valves and other foreign components to his horns.
Thank you @ACB , I was not aware. It makes financial sense to do so, but proves the point that less and less companies are "100% homemade." I mean, Toyota uses a BMW engine in their new Supra!

RE: Trumpets Made ONLY by Their Maker
Besides Monette, Harrelson, Getzen and Conn-Selmer (and the now defunct Kanstul), I do not know of any American trumpet makers that truly make 100% of components in-house (excluding spit valves, of course).

RE: Play Ball
I advocate a change to the lyrics of the "baseball song" to make it more relevant:
"For it's root, root root for the home team!
If they don't win let's ****ing riot
For it's 1! 2! 3 shots you're dead at the old, ball game!" -
RE: Welcome to TrumpetBoards!
Yeah right you heard from the owner of TM. He may as well not exist. At least people here know they don't know that they don't want to know me!
