I can hardly pronounce the title, but I really like this video.

RE: Carol Brass Sticky Valves
@flugelgirl said in Carol Brass Sticky Valves:
@orly61 You should really contact the dealer about these issues. I would suspect that your valves may be dragging because of hand placement - new valves with close tolerances do not like to be hit sideways. Check your pistons for any spots where they have rubbed, and that should tell you where your hand position strays. If your horn has a buzz that it shouldn’t, that is a sure sign of a warranty repair or replacement. That could signify anything from a valve spring to a leak or even a broken bell bead, and should be handled under warranty.
This is the advice I would offer. Better than random people on the internet.

RE: Military bands
My guess, with a Master's Degree from Rice, he would probably be able to get into just about any band he wants to get into. Rice is one of the top music schools in the nation. However, getting into the military requires more than just musicianship. I hope he has a super clean record and can pass the PT requirements.

I work in the industry and I don't like it. Maybe I need a new industry....ha!

I’m not going to bother reading an article about “Digital Humans.”

WTS - Olds Super Recording
Sadly, I have decided to let this beauty go, as well. It's a beautiful, rare, vintage Olds Super Recording trumpet. It was restored by Charlie Melk. I purchased this trumpet last summer and played it maybe a total of 2 hours.
This is a pre-war Super Recording. Very rare. Serial: 8646
$4500 + shipping

WTS - Conn 2B
This vintage Conn 2B has seen some bumps & bruises. I recently had it professionally repaired, but some of the smaller dings are still there. However, the valves are in great condition and all the slides move freely. It's a cool, old horn.
$300 + shipping

WTS - Bach C190 229/25M
I've decided to let go of several horns. This is one of my nicest. It's a Bach C190, I purchased it brand new in July 2022. It's been played maybe 10-15 minutes and is cosmetically & functionally flawless. Comes with original case.

RE: Is It Jazz or Is It Classical?
@kehaulani said in Is It Jazz or Is It Classical?:
IMO, the current Queen of synthesizing all kinds of possible musocal styles is Marie Schneider. Some of her works are on YouTube but she has maintained a very astute control over her works and protection of them for free public access but check pit wjat you can.
Yes, she does a good job at that.

RE: Is It Jazz or Is It Classical?
Now, I would pay good money to hear J.S. Bach improvise!

RE: Is It Jazz or Is It Classical?
I’ve heard a lot of improv that I would consider pure trash. I would much rather hear a beautiful rendition of a Mozart Piano Sonata than another lousy take on “rhythm changes.”

RE: Bots are getting scary
There is no way to reliably "prove" anything the bot says. Still, that doesn't mean it can't create convincing nonsense.

I don't know. Maybe to pick up stragglers. Probably not needed.

Question
The domain TrumpetMaster.com is set to expire this coming October. If it does not renew, should I buy it and have it redirect here? I'm afraid I cannot restore the old site regardless, I have no access to that data.

I have a new favorite Bach Interpreter
I recently discovered David Fray. I like his Bach Partita No. 2. No frills, just very clean, impressive interpretations.

RE: Starting over after a year
Sorry to hear about that! Are you still playing the same mouthpiece you were playing, the Jaeger 3M?

RE: Bugler's Holiday from 1995
Thanks, it's a fun piece to play. I played it with band like 14 years ago.
