    • RE: 5pc Leather Mouthpiece Case

      I ordered two 5-piece mouthpiece cases from Great Leather, one in Wine and one in British Tan. They arrived today, and I am very pleased with the quality of the leather and the softness of the padding.

    • RE: 5pc Leather Mouthpiece Case

      I went to the website to see what they had. I was pleased to find they also make drumstick bags. Grandson #1 just graduated from Rice University with his performance masters degree in percussion. I know he carries a lot of drumsticks to his venues and his current bags are black heavy duty nylon cloth and not attractive. I talked with Dena Hamilton and selected a wine colored stick bag that will have a nice engraved label sewn on. She took care of everything personally. I felt quite impressed with her dedication to great products and great customer service. I will definitely consider a mouthpiece case in the near future.

    • RE: Woodworking?

      If you are just starting, learn to make a lidded box. Use hand tools as much as possible. This will teach you skills that apply to more complex works.

    • RE: Woodworking?

      @BigDub Yes, or Jerry’s Artarama, or Cheap Joes. Some of the best are branded “Best” and are made by Richeson. I have a rolling taboret that holds all my oils in drawers and my palette on top. It sure makes thing easier.

    • RE: Hello! Welcome to TB, who are you?

      David Ferguson aka Curlydoc. I retired in 2012 after a varied career as a pharmacologist, toxicologist, physician, and pharmaceutical scientist. I took up the trumpet again after a more than fifty year hiatus. It is a struggle, but I enjoy it. Other interests include woodworking, fishing, hunting, painting, wine making, cooking, and Curly-coated retrievers.

    • RE: What are you listening to?

      @Kehaulani , more tunes. Got it on iTunes. I know some will criticize the poor reproduction on downloaded music, but with partial hearing loss and constant tinnitus, it is just fine for me.

    • RE: Tinnitus sufferers here ?

      @tptguy I have had tinnitus for twenty years. Developed at same time as osteoarthritis. Perhaps related to anti-inflammatory drugs. So bad I had to give up seeing patients. My tinnitus is in both ears and is pretty close to 3,000 Hz. I have found that focusing my attention to other things lessens its impact. Hearing aids have also helped.

    • Mashup

      I have been musing on the similarities of Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho, In The Hall Of The Mountain King, and Sing, Sing, Sing. Has anyone recorded a mashup of them?

    • RE: Third valve

      @Kehaulani Why doesn’t the Committee need an adjustable third slide? Is there something unique in its design that other trumpets don’t have?

    • Third valve

      Why do low D and DB seem to require extension of the third valve slide to be in tune while other notes requiring the third valve do not? Could a trumpet be made so that the third valve slide is unnecessary?
