@J-Jericho said in You've never heard Kuhlohorn like this:
Dimensions and sound appear quite similar to a flugelhorn, but with a more rounded rounded wrap.
Agreed. The rounded wrap component is more related to the textures delivered by a keyed instrument. Here is Claudio Roditi playing the keyed flugelhorn that I feel gives a very similar tonal delivery

If you are American, undoubtedly you have not been educated in the true goals of Marx's theory.. You may be surprised to learn Marx did not advocate the destruction of capital nor of capitalism...
Not at all, once again, I will hold up my political science education over yours any day. Marx's theory was truly ahead of it's time, and as you said and it is true is was the bastardizaiton of his theory by the politburo that took the theory to the wrong place. So once again, don't you dare come after me insulting my education. You assume too much, and in so doing you are reflecting you own ignorance,
By the way, Groucho was my favorite Marx brother anyway!
What about working around wood? I put this wall of back-splash in with the help of my wife again with marble tile I got from Lowe's. Worked from 5 pm to 5 am the next morning to complete the project on a cold (8 degree F day) in February. Had to run a heater in the garage to keep the water from freezing in the stone cutter. Did the entire profect (facing wall not pictured) for $380.00!

That last note brought my dogs into the room. No. Seriously, they were out in the hall but as soon as that last note was hit, they came running in. Amazing.
This is the version I played. I played the melody line on the 1st verse; the vocal descant line on the second verse; sat out (organ solo) the third verse; and the descant trumpet line the forth verse:

Those slat widths better be under 2 and 3/8 inches or I report you to Children's Protective Services!
No measuring devices were used for the making of this cradle. It was organic, zen, visually driven creation. It all comes together by feel.
Just put the call in. Let me know these slat widths when you get out:
@Tobylou8 said in Not exactly a trumpet but.....:
Dale Proctor would know!!
That is so true, and in trumpet forums his vast knowledge earns him the special title of "Proctortologist", even if his reviews are delayed and he falls a little "behind".
I have noticed this topic has been dormant for the past Easter, as I imagine Covid restrictions has been so critical in impacting large gatherings. I just finished a day of playing Easter Services at an area Lutheran Church, that had a full service, all masking, using alternating pews with staggered seating in family units. It worked well.
For this service, I was fortunate to get Descant Trumpet parts for all Hymns and had traditional organ trumpet parts for the opening Prelude, Te Duem, and the processional, The Trumpet Shall Sound.
The Traditional Selections Included:
Bist Du Bei Mir
Now All the Vaults
Crist the Lord Is Risen Today
Jesus Christ Is Risen Today
I just witnessed two cheese trucks that crashed head on.
Da Brie was everywhere!
@tjcombo said in The hammered bell:
It would be very difficult to say if the hammering had any effect on how the horn played.
I believe that comment nailed it!
Ahhh... from what you posted, he has definitely fulfilled 10.000 hours... So the 10,000 hour rule does apply. (1,500 hours in dog years)
@BigDub said in A little humour:
Butt eye cud bee wrung.
You were, so I made the correction... you shorted your Butt size.
I have the Super Deluxe precursor: The Getzen Power Bore and truly enjoy playing that horn. It was my lead horn until I purchased the Harrelson. It slots like a laser and is the most accurate slotting horn I own.
@A Former User said in Elmer Churampi:
...However, for some people, practicing the horn is a drug and their dragon is figuring out how some piece or piece of a song goes.
After 10,000 hours of practicing, I am dragon!
@SSmith1226 said in A little humour:
This concept could open up community band rehearsals. The only addition would have to be a Crown Royal nag or similar device on the bell of the instrument to filter any droplets.
Would work well for trumpet playing as well.

So, Doc, you were a new-born innocent babe in 1955...
Newborn... yes... innocent? I'll let members here be the judge of that...
AFTER ALL I have the distinction of being the only Trumpetboard member to have been banned from the site!

@Dale-Proctor
These are great, some of which could be a nice challenge for me to paint. I love them. The older the better, of course.
The question is: Are you trained in painting trains?
@Rapier232 said in need perfect pitch to play trombone ?:
@moshe
Doubt it. Perfect pitch is quite rare. Some university did a study recently and found it’s something like only 1 in 10,000.
Agreed. I believe however that "relative pitch" is a much more prevalent and easier sensory skill to adapt to playing, and I can see where this would be a real asset to a trombone player (or a fretless bass player as well).
I will be playing a Lutheran church service under contract l have had over the past 4 years with our local musicians union. It is a 2 hour service with the traditional Lutheran Christmas Hymns.
