@administrator Do we want to start a thread about trumpeters playbacks?

Yes, let's go ahead and do that. Sorry for the tangent.

Yeah, Miles was in a different league. I was more into the big bands, louis and Dixieland style jazz while I was playing back then, but after I stopped in 1965 I became interested, as a listener, in jazz players like Miles and Chet. And I would say that no one was further away from the Harry James exaggerated vibrato style of playing than Miles.

Actually as a young lad in St. Louis, Miles aspired to the Harry James sound. His earlier teacher scolded Miles for trying to sound like Harry... Miles listened, and the rest is history.

@Dr-GO I take a dose of it right before I paint, usually.

I see... I really see...

A very old vintage painting I did which involved some combining of images....just saying, I did not actually see this scene as it appears except when I painted it that way! We are looking at something from around 1980 here.

Have you had a digoxin level checked recently? Rumor has it that Van Gogh's textures were yellow due to his excessive use of digoxin. Anyway, let me know and I will keep an ear off for you.

...I have about 10 horns... I'm actually thinking about thinning the heard.

Mike

As long as one of them is NOT that Getzen Eterna Flugelhorn. It is a beauty and plays just the same. I know. I've played it!

For me, I first soak in moderate warm soapy water at 101 F. Then I will add a bit of conditioner to the water. After about a good 15 minute soak, I then drain the tub and pat EVERYTHING dry. Immediately after this I chose a 100 Proof pure grain alcohol cleansing....

...Then I will wash my horns!

I think she looks more angelic than evangelic...in a kind of sexy way.

I was never a fan of Welk but he wrote an autobiography that I enjoyed very much. You might, as well. Interesting man.

Which addition? A One or a Two or a Three?

Wun Hung Lo was actually the brother of author Hung Tu Low, who wrote "Over the High Hurdles".

Maybe they set the bar too low?

@Kehaulani said in Anyone remember JOHNNY ZELL:

We always watched the show. Nana (Swiss grandmother) loved it. I usually got thrown out of the living room for running my mouth off, LOL,

So did you get your mouth washed out with soap as well ?... would have added to the ambiance of the Welk bubbles in the background and put you in better favor with Nana!

@flugelgirl said in Adams new Balanced Trumpet at Taylor Music:

As far as the Fulcrum goes, it plays a lot like the Super Recording. If you want a Super Recording, but don’t want to pay a lot for what could end up a project horn, the Fulcrum is the way to go. It’s actually so similar that I have the same intonation issue with both models, so neither is a good fit for me, but it should work for anyone who likes a Super Recording.

Interesting. I use an Olds 7 mouthpiece on my Super Recording and have not had any intonation issues. My take on the Super Recording is it plays a bit brighter than my other Olds horns. I find it interesting that the Recording was developed as the transition horn from the Super Recording, yet the Recording plays so much different than the Super Recording.

The one attribute I particularly like about my Super Recording is it plays with more accuracy than with most other horns I have played.

@Shepherds_Crook said in Adams new Balanced Trumpet at Taylor Music:

I have a custom Adams A4 LT that was made for me with a red brass bell and 5.5" flair. It isn't as heavy as the standard A4 ... but is not balanced. I will play the A3 Fulcrum and others at ITG and decide which axe will escort me home.

Blaine, how is the resistance on that A4? I played one on a gig that an audience member wanted me to try and had to change back to my Committee after the first set as I was beginning to fatigue after playing for the first hour.
