    • RE: No real gains on anything more than 40-45 minutes of practice.

      Prior to my retirement from my professorial gig at the medical school this past December, I taught muscle physiology in the first year medical student curriculum. We are at the mercy to the laws of physiology of muscle fiber development. So it takes about 2-6 weeks for muscle to adapt to new stress without damaging fibers. At the end of that 2-6 week span, one can add another 20% duration to the work out. So if 45 minutes is all you can do at this point, continue for several weeks at 45 minutes, than in that new week add 45 x 0.20 or about 10 minutes to the next week (55 minutes) and stay with that for another several weeks. Then advance another 20%. Keep doing this at these intervals until you reach your goal.

      Let fatigue be your friend. When you loose control or start leaking air, step away from the horn for the day and start back at it tomorrow.

      Let me know how this works out.

    • RE: Adams Sonic or Yamaha 631G

      @jrgroove said in Adams Sonic or Yamaha 631G:

      I liked the way it sounded but I'm undecided on the sound I want now.

      The sound I get from my Kanstul 1526: (flugelhorn solo at 2:49)
      https://soundcloud.com/user-296675506/daisy

      This is a song (Daisy) written by our piano player and recorded by "The Eddie Brookshire Quintet". Keigo, the song writer, loved the pedal tone I placed at the end of the song.

    • RE: Adams Sonic or Yamaha 631G

      Kanstul 1525/1526 I just love but again I may be a bit biased as from the Kanstul site:

      What was really an honor in being identified as a Kanstul feartured artist is I am included with Claudio Roditi who was my trumpet teacher in my years I played in New York City. And Claudio was an Adams featured artist, but then discovered Kanstul.

      I have played both and would have to say, Adams would be my second choice. I still feel the copper alloy 1525 and 1526 takes the edge over the Adams.

    • RE: Mouthpiece safari has officially ended with Harrelson 5MM!

      I love working with Jasson. On my original 5 mm, I had him copy with his rim cup measures from my Jettone Studio B (1970's vintage). He matched it to perfection (and I got it in gold as it feels so good on the lips). I use this one for lead playing. AND THE EXTRA BONUS is that I can add to the original front end, to a larger backbore attachment and that original resistance of the Jettone just melts away.

      Then I had him duplicate my Kanstul G2 for small ensemble performance and again to perfection.

      So last month, I got the bug to try the flattest rim he had, again, in gold. Then when I got it, it was almost unplayable when I substituted it on to the Kanstul G2. But I had some deeper rimmed options (that Jason includes with full kit orders which I had with my Jettone copy order), and took the deepest cup in the set and the larges backbore left in the set and WOW, I had an almost useless 5 mm rim, that NOW, with the cup and backbore turned the new combination into the darkest sounding and now most easily playable mouthpiece in my set. I am really loving this combination of 5 mm parts to when I play ballads. Just so soft, dark and sensual. Man does Harrelson 5 mms perform.

      Totally worth the extra cost and with my last two combinations using prior kit parts, the rim only cost $100. So it was like getting an entirely new 5 mm for this price!

      By the way, my original kit came with no charge through the deal I had for my trumpet purchase from him. The Kenstul G2 Kit did cost $450, but again, was it worth that to clean up the resistance of the original. ABSOLUTELY.

    • RE: Trumpet slide grease

      You probably can but I don't think you will be able to get the trumpet's tuning slide much further than the first position.

    • Wayne Shorter Will Be Missed

      Wayne Shorter covered it all through many years and styles. He taught me so much as I remember transcribing so many of his solos for my trumpet lessons with Claudio. Here is an NPR tribute to him. He leaves us at age 89.

    • RE: Carol Brass Sticky Valves

      One other piece of advice I learned from Rowuk, is to also wipe the valve before oiling. This also removes the microdeposits of solid substances that can collect on the surface. Since doing this, my valves after oiling have had the quickest response I have ever experienced.

    • RE: Mouthpiece issue

      Just received the most flat rim Harrelson makes for his 5mm mouthpieces.

      I merged this to a deep cup, wide throat and wide backbore and boy have I found a gem. It creates such a dark, deep tone with amazing flexibility. Oh boy what a sound it puts into my Summit. Yeah, It fatigues, but so does great sex!
