Interesting. As I've been learning Czech lately, I now recognize that this is a Czech instrument, and I also know how to pronounce the name correctly!

RE: Trumpet Based “News” Articleposted in Lounge
Most articles you read these days are going to be--at least partially--written by a bot. The goal is to drive traffic to the site, and thus to the advertisers, making money. If I added advertising to this site I could probably make more than $500 a month off it. Unfortunately, that's the reality of the web these days.

Goes to show that you don't have to like EVERYBODY if you have massive talent.

Have you inspected it carefully? I feel like you can get a pretty good idea of the build quality by checking the seams, solder joints, etc.

Definitely not interchangeable. I believe they are even made by different factories.

RE: Conn Continental Clarion Silver Trumpetposted in Bb & C Trumpets
I don't see why not? $150 isn't very much and that appears to be in excellent condition. Probably could get more for it than that. I'm not a vintage horn expert but I think $150 would be VERY reasonable.

Matt Brockman: SCAMposted in Music Discussion
It has come to my attention that an unscrupulous sleaze ball is ripping off unsuspecting individuals who are looking to improve their trumpet skills.
This is a PSA: Matt Brockman is a hustler & scammer. His program is not worth 1/10 of what he offers. Please do not purchase anything he is selling.
Please see the following threads:

RE: Your chance to own the world's most useless (yet interesting) trumpet!posted in Bb & C Trumpets
I think it would be an interesting instrument to try to learn. Not quite a bass trumpet and not quite a standard Bb trumpet.

RE: European Music Sceneposted in International Board
No, I mean opportunities to play. I'm not concerned about making a living but are there amateur orchestras and bands and how good are they, generally speaking?

Checkout what I found. An Eb trumpet....but a LOW Eb trumpet at that.

European Music Sceneposted in International Board
I'm very interested to know what the European music scene is like. Especially the amateur / semi-pro scene. I live in a medium-sized city in the USA but there are almost no playing opportunities here for me. I am on the backup list for a local amateur orchestra and that's about it. The nearest professional orchestra is a minimum of 5 hours away, either north or south.
What's it like in Europe?

RE: Play Through or Restposted in Embouchure and Air
I know the Caruso method, but I would suggest that you not take it to any extremes. If you injure yourself, that could be the end of your brass career. And, at the very least, if you are making really nasty sounds, that will alter your internal "ear" that you use when you are playing music.
I would generally stay away from methods like Caruso. There is so much out there that is genuinely helpful and not damaging in any way.

It's just semantics. There is no real difference.
