@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!!

@kehaulani-0 Exactly. And that in rapid succession!

@barliman2001

Just went to that website and it was truly amazing. A trip there would be something you would never forget.

And as for Sicily, well I have never been there but I have an Italian penpal who spends quite a bit of time there and she has sent me many videos and pictures, especially of the Lecara Friddi municipality where she and some friends are involved in restoring the Sinatra home where Frank's father was born and raised, as well as adding a Sinatra museum and foundation. Pictures of the countryside and seaside are breathtaking.

Ok. There's one more, especially for your Mum:
The little boy just does not want to go to sleep. The parents have already tried everything. Finally, the father says, "Ok, I'll get my viola and play something." - "Oh no," says Mum. "Don't resort to violence!"

@newell-post Looks and sounds very, VERY interesting...

If you really want to be authentic, you'll make sure he also knows the French school of tonguing.
