Keep it simple - no profanity, no name calling, nothing unrelated to trumpets/cornets/flugelhorns/etc. and musical topics in general. That gives topics a pretty wide latitude without excessive rules. Be civil to your fellow members if there’s a disagreement on some point, and keep things PG in case younger people are looking in.
Anyone here into photographing railroad subjects? Years ago, I was interested in both photography and trains, and took a lot of photos of them, mostly with an old Miranda 35mm camera. I still like photography, but I don’t chase trains any more...lol
Anyway, to get things started, I’ll post a few of the ones I’ve taken for any who are interested. Feel free to post any you have taken, but please don’t post generic pics found on the net.

I found a copy of American Drummer Boy on Ebay. Love civil war stuff.....
I ran across this screen shot of me playing Eb cornet in the movie. That’s me on the end by the stair. 
Hope you all have a happy and safe upcoming 4th, even those of you in other countries. Here’s a photo I took a number of years ago that is appropriate.
I saw this cool jazz trio on a walk through the neighborhood this morning. Can you dig it? 
Took some new pics of this cool little cornet. Made from German silver, oval-port Allen valves.

A few new glamour shots of a rare instrument...

I’m sorry to see this and I hope the water recedes quickly and you can get back to normal life. Sounds like you’re pretty well prepared. We live on a small mountain about 1000’ above the city below, so no flood worries here, but…tornadoes are fairly numerous in this part of the country (Alabama, USA). It seems like just about anywhere people live, they are subject to some sort of natural disasters.
Here’s a photo I took today. It’s random and pretty creepy, too…

A month ago this was a Walmart Superstore, but involuntary inventory reduction prompted the decision to close this store and another one in the area. I wouldn't be surprised if those responsible for the inventory reduction aim their activities at Target to a greater degree than they had been doing previously.
They still arrest and prosecute people around here who are afflicted with sticky fingers…

@Trumpetb I will heartily disagree with the mouthpiece having anything to do with a G#.
Do not loose the focus with this response. There is just something about the G# that just bedazzles the note itself from my experience. Doesn't matter which horn I am playing, which mouthpiece I use with any horn, you have to think (and hear) that G# to slot squarely on it.
You just have to think “Ab” instead of G#, and you’ll hit it dead-on…lol
@JWM
If you’re referring to the G# on top of the staff, I used to have trouble with it too. I had no trouble with the Ab, though, so in my case, it was a mental problem. It may sound silly, but try thinking Ab and see if that helps.
@J-Jericho
Sometimes, it seems like I can barely play one at once…lol
