      The rest seem like the ones you'd find on eBay for under a hundred bucks, brand new with Mouthpiece and hard case.

      Don't forget the white gloves. 😀

      Haha, you mean I only thought it? Guess I forgot to type it.

      Top trumpets. What a douch bag.

      More like a bias bag. Look at their disclaimer:

      We may earn a commission if you purchase a product through our links.

      Any on wants to bet Yamaha pays the largest commission and likely the higher volume. This analysis has a high risk rating due to the conflict of support bias.

      The Yamaha still is likely the best of those picks. From my perspective that’s the only one I ever heard of. The rest seem like the ones you'd find on eBay for under a hundred bucks, brand new with Mouthpiece and hard case.

      @BigDub Actually it is Sol, not So... from Solfege. https://www.musicnotes.com/now/tips/solfege-what-is-it-and-how-is-it-used/

      Oh, say it isn't so. All my life it's been so.☹ 😓 😭
      And yet, I knew about solfege, too. I guess I was going by the sound of music version. And is "sol" a needle pulling thread, I ask?

      "Sing a scale," said my teacher, years ago.
      I sang "do re mi fa sol la ti do."
      "At least you got the words right," he said.

      ☺
      Well, it’s so, not sol. Sorry. Almost right.

      @N1684T said in LONG TONES:

      Golf needs something to truly make it a sport. Like a defense blitzing. There was a movie that added rushers to Golf. Can't remember the title. Sorry for the absence. Crazy busy.

      Could you be thinking about the Adam Sandler movie, Happy Gilmore? It didn’t exactly have that, but did have many broken golf taboos on it. Pretty funny.

      @Tobylou8 Long tones are great with Sporting events on TV

      But it would be just common courtesy to stop while they’re putting

      How many times can you tear a sheet of paper in half?
      Once. After that it would be quarters, eighths, sixteenths, etc.

      How many letters are there in the word, Deed?
      Two. Well, the other two are repeats

      It’s been quiet so here it goes:
      An Englishman, Frenchman, Spaniard, and German were watching a street magician. The magician realized that they couldn’t see him well so he stepped up on a high box. The magician said, “Can you see me now?”
      They answered,
      Yes
      Oui
      Si
      Ja

      You see, now, that there is funny. However, you must be fluid in 4 languages like myself to get it.

      I bet you said to yourself, "what a moron, fluid?
      It's supposed to be, fluent!"
      Well, you should have said so.

      "There are no dumb ideas. But there certainly are dumb people who act on their ideas."

      I could tell you a few hundred dumb ideas, but that would be a dumb idea, kinda.

      This is one case where I would have preferred making it into a wall hanging.

      Those late night TV commercials. I don’t know why but they strike me so funny. And by late night, I mean, like after 9:30.
      The ones that show the exaggerated comparisons. Those.
      And the FLEX SEAL guy. His are awesome.

    • RE: Range Improvement

      When I would listen to Wynton's version of Carnival of Venice years ago, and hear how he would play that ending two octave F scale, I would say to myself, "that’s impossible".
      I kept trying to match it. Little by little, I'd add a step.
      Now I actually can do it. Not every single time, but more often than not. This was the thing about which I would say, "nobody can do that!"
      Keep working at something and you may accomplish it.

      What`s the difference between a baroque trumpeter and a dressmaker?
      A dressmaker tucks up frills.

      However, maybe if the trumpet player wasn't baroque, the trills would be fixed up!

      A drummer walked past the bar...

      People say to me, "A penny for your thoughts?".

      But then they want change.

      Hey. You can send me one of your paintings that are a product of your thoughts on canvas for a penny.
      You can keep the change!

      Sorry, didn’t see this one till just now. I wasn’t ignoring it. At first. Now I am.

      @Tobylou8 said in A little humour:

      My husband and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
      Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
      She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
      I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.'
      She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
      I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
      The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
      Do not confuse the people at MacD's.

      We had to have the garage door repaired.
      The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
      I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
      He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
      I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
      We haven't used that repairman since...

      I live in a semi rural area.
      We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.

      The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
      IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.

      My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.
      She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
      He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

      I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,
      'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
      To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
      He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

      The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
      I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
      She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
      I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
      Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
      She is a government employee.....

      When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
      service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
      We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
      As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
      ‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
      His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
      STAY ALERT!

      I believe all of these I have lived through personally. Me on the smarter side of the equation........usually

      @BigDub said in Music. What is It?:

      Music is when a child says, "I hear music"
      Innocence of a child that we can’t even figure out what it is any longer

      Innocence, Hell. My granddaughter says "I hear music" when let a fart go! Music? Only if you consider the lower br*-ass a wind instrument!

      *back region

      Well, that little sprout is only bearing the fruit of that which was put into her impressionable little heart
