Question: does this sound like a standard Cornet? To me, it looks more like it plays and sounds like a flugelhorn.

When I finally get around to ACTUALLY playing again I'll pay your shop a visit. I'm in South America right now and all flights go through Florida so it's actually a pretty easy destination to get to.

That's good. Your site looks good. Normally, I would not suggest somebody have white text on a black background but in your case, it fits. Jazz is often something performed in a "dark and smoky" place so it gives a nice atmosphere.

I like the fact that you specialize in "jazz" horns, although you and I know that definition can be a bit fuzzy at times!

I'm curious if you've got some SEO work being done. That would increase your customer base substantially.

I just see the lips and mouthpiece as one system -- you can't separate them, just like you can't separate the mouthpiece from the reed on a saxophone.

Looks like a baby black bear...better watch out as the momma might be nearby!

Ok, I need suggestions for Latin music to listen to while I'm in South America. I have a few ideas:

• Arturo Sandoval
• Pacquito D'Rivera
• Omara Portuondo
• Villa-Lobos
• Piazzola
• Ginastera

You'd likely enjoy the entire album. It's from the 2018 album Omara Siempre

While I'm visiting the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia, I am planning on seeing this lady. I had never heard of her until a few days ago. What a great piece of music!

I see the Guy Touvron signature.
Hey, how hard is it to get tickets to the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert?

@administrator You still have the problem of 00:00 hours.

Yes, I suppose that one still exists.

@j-jericho When I worked for one of the railroads, nothing ever happened at either noon or midnight. Everything happened at either 11:59 or 12:01 just to avoid confusion of the whole 12:00 am/pm thing.

I'm surprised they didn't just do 24-hour time and do away with the confusion of a 12-hour clock all together.

Also, love the "offset" valve look. Very trendy

I had a friend in college who played an Olds Recording. It was one of the most unique instruments I had ever seen and was perfect for the type of playing he did. I hope you enjoy it.

I think it's useless. There is no direct comparison between "buzzing" your lips and creating a standing wave in a brass instrument. I can see how mouthpiece "buzzing" may be helpful, but lip "buzzing" seems worthless to me. We don't "buzz" at all in the trumpet -- we create a standing wave in the instrument with the passing of air through our embouchure. I think of the organ. In the organ, you have pipes which are sounded by a reed. You don't separate the reed from the pipe -- they are part of the same system. No reed, no sound, but no pipe, and you get a sound alright, but not anything like the sound you wanted.

I am against lip buzzing.

I can relate to both…..

Haha...cats. This is so true.

I owned one of those Bach Vindabona 72 trumpets. One of the trumpets I regret ever selling.

And it looks like the spam users were from...Spain! Ha!
