"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out."
General William Tecumseh Sherman
to the Mayor and Councilmen of Atlanta September 1864

I wondered why she didn't have the flying flame thrower blast away and roast them head on.

Give an arpeggio the Clifford Brown treatment. Go chromatic upper and lower neighbor then the chord tone.
All 8ths and swing it. Accent the bold gives a good feel.
Db B C , F D# E, Ab F# G, C (or Db B C)
Ever hear of Curtis and Julliard?
@Newell-Post said in Pic mouthpieces:
Try Stork 7P, if you want to get a piccolo mouthpiece. Not expensive and fully functional.
If one doesn't like the sharp bite on a Bach they should find a Stork to be more comfortable.
@pss said in Pic mouthpieces:
@Brian-Moon : I prefer Yamaha over Bach, find them more confortable.
I can understand that. If one is uncomfortable on a mouthpiece it isn't likely that they will sound very good
@pss said in Pic mouthpieces:
Yamaha has at least a 11A5 for piccolo, that I used for a moment with my regular trumpet, feels similar to the 7EW.
But it will sound like a Yamaha mouthpiece. If one likes that, it is good.

I suggest we get Rowuk to be a moderator! Seriously he lets most everything go!
If that happens I will have to delete "Chicom" from my vocabulary again, for no good reason.
Bach 7EW or if you find a good 7E. At one time Maurice André played a Bach 7DW which I have found to be smaller than the 7EW.

I believe the guidance of a good teacher is the way to find out what works most efficiently for you.
Dittos!
The only problem is finding someone who can find the most efficient way for you.
@Newell-Post
I didn't say that it would be worth learning to do it; just that it can be done.

@Newell-Post said in The Seven C's:
How about sticking to an established standard like....
C4 (middle C)
C5 (treble C)
C6 (high C)
C7 (double C)
C8... that's baloney. No trumpet ever really gets to C8.
Play too much so your chops swell up and then tighten as much as possible and blow as hard as you can. You can find it. Good luck doing it on demand in a tune and loud enough to be heard.
I have a tape of Maynard playing Double G and Triple C in the same measure. (Ole from live Canadian TV in the early sixties)
I am not sharing this recording. Someone asked for it more than 20 years ago. Maybe my great grandchildren will be able to make money off of it? I could share a little of the part that I am talking about but I have to do my taxes first.
