Me. too. I favor my older horns above the newer ones. I especially love the 1942 Buescher and the 1952 Selmer Paris.

And then again, there is nothing better than an older horn player... but on this account, I am biased!😁

@barliman2001
Thank you so much , sir. Not only unbelievable, but inspiring, too.

Thanks for enlightening me, Barliman. I did some research and found the name of the movie, the full cast and what not. The movie was called A Song Is Born and was released in 1948. I would have been 12 years old then so that's probably why I had never heard of the movie before.

Barlilman2001, I am worried about you as we know you were having this concerning health issues and it has been awhile since hearing from you. Are you well! My thoughts go out to you with hope and prayer.

For some reason, my edit shows up in the editing preview block but doesn' show up on my post. Therefore . .

For Quincy Troupe in his biography of Miles, he said:
"Mr. Buchanan stopped the band and told me, "Look here, Miles. Don't come around here with that Harry James stuff, playing with all that vibrato. Stop shaking all those notes and trem­bling them, because you gonna be shaking enough when you get old. Play straight, develop your own style, because you can do it. You got enough talent to be your own trumpet man."

The soloist was wearing a digital watch. How inauthentic. Blasphemy!

But seriously, that video is just seamless. All superlatives apply.

Listening to the consistent timbres, it really makes one think about where and how nodes and antinodes occur within a wind instrument.

Hope things are going well. Best of luck.

@Kehaulani Well, it worked and did not cost anything.

@ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

Thank you... Yes, I picked up a guitar the same time I picked up trumpet. Probably for the past 50 years, both have competed for my attention.

Funny thing with the guitar (true story!) --- My sister Ginny had an old nylon string acoustic guitar in her room. I used to sneak into her room and doodle around on her guitar, trying to figure it out (no lessons, no knowledge). But one day my older sister Sue was blaring an old Cream album on her record player in her room. I heard the opening notes to "Sunshine Of Your Love", and somehow, someway, I figured out what Eric Clapton was playing on Ginny's nylon string guitar. Just then, she caught me red-handed, in her room, playing her guitar, and playing along with Eric Clapton's guitar lick -- without ever taking a lesson! I just remember her yelling at me, yanking her guitar out of my hands, smacking the {expletive} out of me, as she chased me out of her room! 😨
...my parents soon bought me my own acoustic guitar, and the rest is history!

He's pretty damn good on the violin, too.

Thank you! I will never be as good as my grandmother - she was a concert violinist in New York City back in 1914, 1915, and her violin is not only over 100 years old - it is priceless to me!

Ok, as promised, here's the report from the first concert with the ACB picc.
Read about "Acoustics" - description of the very unconventional hall we played in. Lots of open spaces, lots of glass, two staircases... during rehearsal, sound just vanished. At the performance, the ACB without amp easily filled the hall without effort, blended well with all the brass section of the orchestra (one Lechner Bb, one Cerveny tenor horn, one K&H trombone and a really ancient Lidl tuba). No problem with intonation even after a long wait for it being played - only used in the final piece.
Audience were thrilled, gave us 14 minutes of applause. I'm content.

As I am now in the grandiose position of Most High Executive Global Moderator of the TB Empire...

Congrats! It's good to be the king. 😉

@dirk020 Thanks very much for your generosity... I have a great many great trumpets as well, but there is a difference between a great horn and the one that you feel can read your mind... and Courtois instruments always do that...

@neal085 By the way, I prefer poached. That way, the egg keeps its integrity while displaying a soft outside. And the inside is thoroughly yellow! 😉
