Terry Warburton that got his start making mouthpieces now makes amazing trumpets, and is the exclusive craftsman that assembles these. One of my favorite trumpet players, Pete Rodriguez has the most amazing sound on his horns:
As you can also tell from this video, he has an amazing vocal talent as well.
Back to Warburton, his price ranges are definitely one of the more afordable trumpets within this category.
Tmd is a physician. He is double boarded in internal medicine and emergency medicine. He also works in a university setting but more focused toward a clinical position. He is a gifted musician as well, multi-talented, and was honored as well by visiting him on several occasions, and once invited to sit in with his band at a club they play at regularly on the weekends.
Good new here is I was born in 1955, so I am lead free!
I only know of Carling Black Label beer. It's not a valve oil, but if you consume enough when playing, you will be less concerned as to the action the valves.

As far as a low-noise policy, aren't there other rooms in the facility that you can use?
I used a Yamaha Silent mute when I had my 3 week stay in the hospital, several days of which were in the ICU. Nurses had no problems with me playing.

I was waiting for this one. I can feel my lips puckering now with the incitement of putting them up against this horn. Soon my friend, real soon!
Jim is an amazing friend and honored The Eddie Brookshire Quintet with several performances over the years. These have been tough times for club owners, and this amazing customer helps sustain such venues with generous contributions such as this $3,000 tip for a $6,50 beer!

@dr-go Lol!
You know, this just encourages him. So many thanks!!!
Been playing my Ambassador every day this week out on my front porch of the cabin I have in Gatlinburg serenading Mt Leconte on just one application of oil I used on Monday.
A real loss for the trumpet community. My thoughts go out to his family in this loss.
I met him personally after a lesson with Claudio Roditi. Claudio took me to his studio at the conclusion of one of our lessons, after we discussed mouthpieces influences on sounding of the trumpet. Jerome hand lathed a custom mouthpiece for my Olds Recording on the spot. He first identified a cup that worked best for me, had me play my horn, then took it to his lathe to work on the back bore. He did this 5 times going back and forth between my horn and his lathe. He did not charge me a dime for his expertise or his time!

Well, after mourning TM and my hard-earned status as fortissimo user, I'm here.
AND in my mind, you will always be fortissimo, no matter which site you choose to post to. Your experience, amazing guidance and passion for the trumpet is what helps to make any site to which you contribute one of greatness. Great to work with you again, sir!

@dr-go I thought your avatar had a "ring" to it.
Yes. My TM avatar was my original design for a "Music in Medicine" symposium I helped develop for a medical school lecture series.
Then I used that design to send to Jason Harrelson to insert as a brace in my tuning slide of my Summit. The avatar version I use here on TB is a picture of that plated insert Jason put into my tuning slide.
@georgeb said in KGU Brass Mod Kits & Boosters:
If these kits add weight to the horn I'm guessing it darkened the sound considerably, which a lot of jazz players like, and perhaps Bob is one of them.
Added weight may also be good for heavy metal!

I don’t think I’d be able to really stretch out in those cramped conditions...
I mean, after just storing your paints, there would be no room left for humans!
@flugelgirl said in The new Martin Committee "thread" from a TM emigrant:
@tjveloce it had its pictures taken Thursday - I expect it will be up early next week.
And already it's gone. It was truly a nice looker! Flugelgirl, thanks for keeping us informed. Really appreciate it!
@barliman2001 said in New old friend:
Coolerdave - whom some of you may remember from TM days - has found the light and is now where he belongs: in this community of trumpet lovers.
Welcome, Dave!
Ohoh That means I will need to stop plagiarizing his Facebook memes that I have been posting in the Humor section. Coolerdave, can you find it in your heart to forgive?
Here is yet another band that employed the Tower of Power brass section but combined with a band that has an amazing Hammond B3 solo. The combination is just amazing:
I can see it now:
Denis Wick will make A-fib alright and that's no lie!
@ROWUK said in RIP Trumpet "Master":
@Dr-GO Yes, I do browse the site from time to time. I do happen to be busy with many things (performances and preparing for a master class) that keep me away from casual computing.
Keep practicing!
Robin
The BEST advice you could give me.... as always! Will do sir!
