I have never played the handcraft, but it is interesting that it has more accurate slotting. I am not sure I would appreciate the handcraft over the later standard Martin due to that feature difference.

By the way... Thanks for the history here, this has been a really helpful perspective to the Martin horns.

@Kehaulani said in The many Martin companies:

Feedback I have heard is that it holds its own tonally with the favorite second generation, but with a little more security in the slotting - more like a Handcraft. And with superior native intonation to any.

This would suggest it is not like the original Committee. Greasy slotting was the beauty of that horn.

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.

Glad to hear @Dr-GO (Gary) is getting gigs. What type of gig was it? And did you have to make any "social distancing" adjustments?

The AFM local 101-471 got me a gig to open a church for their Pentecost services. It was held with amazing social distancing, with families sitting in single pews staggered one end to middle to other end of pew, ALL I mean 100% wearing masks! I played at 12 ft from the organist (having to remove my mask when playing) but kept it on at all other time. No hymnals. All responses AND hymns were projected on a large screen so that no paper service items would be distributed.

I have maintained my routine practice schedule as never know when a gig will come up. Just got one from the union this week that I play tomorrow. Waiting for more to open now that our governor has opened up restaurants.

I am guessing hypo?

You were, so I made the correction... you shorted your Butt size.

Sounds to me like some bunny made a mistake! But let's not go down THAT rabbit hole!

I believe this adequately fits the bill:

Wife: Did I get fat during quarantine?
Husband: You weren't really skinny to begin with!

Textures of both. Kenny Drew Jr, did a compilation of classics that he transitioned between classical and jazz... just amazing beautiful, especially at that transition point. He gave me a copy and if I can figure out how to copy it to post I will provide you with a sample. Kenny wanted to get this CD out for distribution, but his untimely death prevented this. He recorded it in a French Cathedral and the sound is just amazingly beautiful.

Dave Greer and the Classic Jazz Stompers are a group of musicians here in Dayton, Ohio that play this venue exclusively. I am not a member of that band but truly support their effort to spread the word!

I suggest we get this guy to lead a Professionals Section to TB:

Just tried to log on to may American Academy of Pediatrics site. Never made it so tried to change my password. But I thought the trail of my attempt may be instructive to all:

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:

@administrator said in Do You Prefer Classical, Jazz, Rock or Other?:

Classical. Moves me.

For me, it's MiraLAX. But classical music is nice to listen to during those moments.

@Kehaulani said in New Player has entered the Game:

The recommendations may depend on where you are. What country are you in?

So true. My response was under the assumption you were based in the US. Being outside of the US will likely change some of the options that would be more practical for you.
