I would say, ( hope I'm not repeating anyone else here…) different players, different set of precautions.
Some guys and girls look like their head is going to explode. Then there are others who you almost can’t distinguish the difference between them playing and just placing the horn on their chops.
So, depending where you fall into that group, judge accordingly.
I heard that one out of four people are mentally disturbed.
Seems more like three out of four………to me.

Another time Ole was driving home with his wife, Lena. A little way into the trip a police officer stops him to tell him he thought someone may have fallen out the passenger side about a half mile back. .
“Oh, boy, dats a relief!” Says Ole. “I thought maybe I had gone deaf!”
@barliman2001
I have heard a similar Norwegian joke.
Goes like this:
Ole goes off to work one day and a shortly after arriving realizes he forgot his lunch. Gets home and calls up to his wife. “Lina, where are you?”
“ Up in the bedroom”, she says.
Ole comes in and asks, “Lena, where’s your clothes?”
“ oh, I yust have nutting to vare”
Ole goes to the closet, starts naming every thing she has,
“Look, here's your blue dress, your red dress, plaid dress, hi Sven, your white dress………”
Also, a woman called the radio station and complained about where the deer crossing sign was put on the shoulder of the highway.
“Why did the highway department put it there? Too many deer are getting hit by cars there. They should put it in a less busy section of the highway so the deer can safely cross the road. I can’t believe they are that ignorant”
@j-jericho said in Mouthpiece issue:
@rowuk ... or he should use the Bach numbering system. You know... the number of high notes is stamped into the mouthpiece, along with which pitch the mouthpiece contains! For example, a 10-1/2 C enables you to play ten and one half octaves of the note "C", whereas a 2 only has two undetermined high notes available.
Now I understand completely.
Sorry for the wandering.
Back to the question, though, I think the real thing is taking your time with it, and not trying to microwave your results. More of a slow cook approach. ( I am paraphrasing what Rowuk said. He knows the deal. )
Pope John XIII was asked in an interview how many people worked at the Vatican.
About half of them, he answered.
@ssmith1226
That’s some pretty crazy stuff there.
Almost as strange as the guy with the talking dog for sale…
Wanna hear about it?
I take that as a yes.
There was a guy driving through the low country of South Carolina when he spotted a sign in front of a run down shack that said, “Talking DAWG FER SAIL, 5 BUCKS”
He said to himself, I gotta see this, even if I don’t buy it, so he went to the front porch and asked about it.
The man sitting in the rocking chair said, yup, y’all can go right on back and see him. He ain’t gonna bite.
Man goes back and gets into a total conversation with this dog! No people were around or anything like that. The dog goes on and on about all his exploits and travels, since he could talk, of course.
Drug enforcement, he could listen in on conversations and report back to his handlers. All kinds of stuff like that.
So this fella is mighty impressed with what he heard, and wanted this dog for sure, especially because it was only 5 bucks!
He pays the man still lounging on his rocking chair and once he shakes hands on the deal, he says, “this dog is amazing! Why would you sell a dog that has accomplished all these things for so cheap!
Man on the rocker says, “aww, he was just a big ol’ bald faced liar is why!”
Another Ole and Lena story. ( Norwegian Humor )
Lena was in court for shoplifting.
She was accused of taking a can of peaches.
“ How many peaches were in that can you took? “ said the judge.
“Oh, I would say, two.” Said Lena.
The judge declared she would have to spend one day in jail for each peach in the can she took.
Lena stood, head down, and took her medicine.
Then……..
Ole cleared his throat, and asked if he could say something.
Yes? Said the judge.
Well, Ole said, in the interest of justice, I need to mention that my wife here also took a can of peas, too.
@barliman2001 said in Bugler's Holiday from 1995:
Nice! But it's bad that the flag prevented the page-turner from being in her proper place, totally obliterating the pianist...
That is exactly the humble kind of guy he is. He never hogs the spotlight. Fine Pianist, too. He may be the most humble friend I have.
He truly does not care if he is seen or not!
This came up on YouTube only 6 months ago. My friend came across it and posted it. So, it’s me and my friends from 28 years ago. I am on the far left, playing the third part.
@newell-post
Maybe so, but these are from his own book. Just saying.
Some things Yogi Berra said. I’m pretty sure.
Driving to the baseball Hall of Fame with Whitey Ford:
Whitey: hey, Yogi, I think we’re lost!
Yogi: I know, but we’re making good time!
When giving directions to his house:
“When you come to the fork in the road, take it.”
Getting a small pizza for himself, he’s asked how many slices he wants the pie cut into, four, or six?
“ better make it four” Yogi says, “I don’t think I can eat six pieces”
“ Nobody goes to that place anymore. It’s too crowded”
@kehaulani said in Artist on BOARD:
Look at a Monet and simultaneously listen to Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and you can intuit it.
I almost never paint without music ( my own very diverse ) playlist playing in the background. Not loud at all, just enough so I can hear it.
It would feel awkward to paint in silence.
Interesting about your instructor, too, Kehaulani. I think you mentioned it before, and I thought the same thing.
@georgeb
Very kind of you to say, but I think I wouldn’t want to be tied down like that right now, plus I don’t think I would have enough material to put together something every week….I am retired, too, by the way
Here is another YouTube video of my newest painting.
Hope you enjoy watching it!
@newell-post said in A little humour:
@bigdub ...and she (Wood's sister) was PISSED OFF, because people assumed she was involved with the town's elderly dentist (the male model).
And boy, does she look it.
I doubt if I would use these folks for models in a painting like this, but Grant Wood.
@trumpetb
Sounds logical. But I am sure I didn’t initiate any of those changes to Apple Music when it occurred. I was using new apple Air Pods for the first time. Don’t know if I mentioned that. Strange that it didn’t happen on YouTube music or GarageBand music at that same session before restarting. No?
@tjcombo said in Weirdest thing happened:
HNY Wayne, wonder if this is an electronic or ear issue? Thought I’d share my “one weird trick” story in case it helps.
A few years back, I acquired my first C trumpet and couldn’t believe how bad its intonation. Swapped back and forth between C and regular Bb horn in practice and the new horn didn’t seem to improve.
I can’t remember why, but I played few tunes on the Bb, reading from a Bb Real Book, then played the same tunes on the C horn, reading from the C Real Book and for some strange reason the intonation issues stopped. It was like something in my tiny mind switched - either that or some musical elves tweaked the C trumpet.Cheers

Interesting, but definitely not what happened to me. As soon as I switched to a YouTube recording it was spot on.
Also, in answer to Steve, I haven’t been using the AirPods when using the silent brass device.
It was so strange because I have been playing with this setup for close to 20 years and nothing with the pitch changing has ever happened.
Once I quit Apple Music and restarted the computer it corrected itself.
