@administrator We would be happy to donate some to Portugal - they are fighting wildfires there...

@Bruce I've seen the x-rays - no doubt about it. No roots any more. As to gums/jaw - did not know the exact terminology. And yes, I know about the risks.

Still looking for a good new home...

The drummer's not too bad, either.

@barliman2001 It's an easy transposition - up a major 3rd. You could also just write it out and make your own part. Something to do on the train. Not too many notes in the Brahms for trumpets. I always played C trpt in my career as an orchestral trumpeter. Up a step is even easier. I've worked hard learning how to transpose at sight so it's automatic now. All the different transpositions. Wagner, for ex., calls for trumpets in different keys sometimes changing every few bars.

@barliman2001 Interesting. Thanks for the information

And here is a very short soundbite (from Wood Notes)

@BigDub
Elmar, here is the recording if you feel like listening to it. https://soundcloud.com/bigdub-3/07-christmas-day-in-the?si=85561cd1af7440b98a25acaf3c4a8893&utm

I started playing on my LA Recording today with my TF (trumpet/flugel V cup) mouthpiece today. What a sound!

@barliman2001 So sorry to hear this. Hope you have a full recovery and are back in action soon! -Bob

@barliman2001 said in Mute Clarification?:

@j-jericho As I do have a derby mute, but no derby hat, I think I'll settle for the mute...

Playing into a "soft" mute of any kind means that there is enough damping to kill overtones. A normal "hat" or derby mute is OK but putting some additional damping material performs the conversion. Kill the overtones on a trumpet, and it sounds more flute like.

@l-a-horn said in Fun hooter for "those" gigs...:

You can't use it in an orchestra, wind band or big band because you're not correctly playing it. The drunken vulture means that it should be played while toasted. It'll sound remarkable! 🍻

One can only imagine the remarks!

@rowuk THANK YOU!!
