Well, I never stated those things. I am trying to find newcomers. I took out some ads on Facebook. Not sure if they are working yet.

It is unfortunate. I would love to purchase the domain and redirect all traffic here. That may sound a bit egotistical, but you have to realize, if you do searches on trumpet-related topics, many of them return results from TM, and, when you click on the link....nothing, nada, zilch. At the very least it would help the SEO of this site tremendously.

We are almost to 200 users. I suspect when we get the 40k+ that TH has, we might see a few more issues. Nevertheless, I already have an edge on them simply because I use software newer than 2005.

So, I think it is safe to say this site is gone for good, no? Anybody have any information on who the owner was? I would like to purchase the domain and redirect traffic to TB. Please PM me with any info you might have. Thanks!

Thanks for joining. Trying to get the site popular, I created a Facebook ad. If you see it, let me know!

Who broke Rule #1 ?

Now we gotta ditch the site and start all over again in hiding.

What's rule 1? I allow account name changes.

Did you find it on Facebook?

Recording shows what you truly sound like! Nothing is more eye-opening.

I would reach out to Dr. Bergman with any questions you might have. He is a personal friend of mine, a fine trumpeter and our next ITG President. I trust his word.

I am Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, was the President of the Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Association, have a National Teaching Award named after me (The Gary Onady Award) published Evidence-based Systematic Reviews on allergy reactions AND am a member of the American Federation of Musicians (very proud of that one). So what am I, chopped liver?

I see and have personally cared for and treated nickel allergies (more related to jewelry) for over 30 years in my medical practice. The case you posted is a clear presentation of long duration, repeat exposure to nickel which is commonly seen in a medical practice. So any individual can additionally reach out to me through this thread, as a member of TrumpetBoards. But I ask you to judge for yourselves if you feel my above discussions are on point.

Please do read our disclaimer. I do ask that you first reach out personally to your own physician and then have that physician contact me if they have additional questions. I will provide the background and medical recommendations that physicians' will need. I serve as a consultant to United Healthcare and the American College of Physicians to produce such educational materials for physicians and patients.

Didn't mean to discredit your credentials, only that I personally know Dr. Bergman and he's an empathetic and qualified trumpet pedagogue.

@L-A-Horn Well, I guess you could try one of those new Chinese horns in the marketplace, but I wouldn't expect much for $350. If that is all I had to spend I would try to find something in a used Olds.

Just to clarify, Taiwan is not China.

Now that's a can of worms!

I remember hearing a news story about a cycling shoe brand named SIDI, based in Italy. I own a pair of their shoes and they are excellent. Apparently, they have a warehouse in California and it burned down. Most American orders were thus delayed.

Just found this fantastic article about metal allergies. It's a very good and informative read.

Crooks will find a way, sadly enough. I hope it's returned to its rightful owner.

My first name is Austin. The perfect trumpet for me!

I have exclusive rights to 8VB whenever I want.

This reminds me of a couple Arturo Sandoval concerts I attended. He would go into the stratosphere and then crash to hell (if you get my drift). I did not know that such low notes were possible on the trumpet.

Gosh, she looks like she is 14. Some people have all the talent, though.

I have heard that Jin-Bao are acceptable.
