    • RE: Structure of the Trumpet by Yamaha

      @Kehaulani said in Structure of the Trumpet by Yamaha:

      If you can just blow air into the mouthpiece and produce a sound without your lips touching, you have discovered something rare, indeed.

      Lips are touching. Watch Tine Thing in the video, please watch the video. You will better understand.

      Then try it. OK.

      I thought this was resolved.

      What's to resolve? There is no fight here. There is no "one way is better than another". All I have been trying to do in all of these threads that I bring up the phwoooo technique is to enlighten our readers that there is more than one way to put the vibration from the lips into the horn. Dr. Marc even posted a lecture (Dr. Marc posts amazing material) where an individual lights a torch to produce sound in a glass tube. Any energy form that moves the air inside a tube (in the case of the mouthpiece the cup and throat, will produce a vibration in the material in contact, which at the beginning of the process is the mouthpiece. There is nothing in need of resolution here, OK.

      ...When there is no sound, it can't be further amplified. No buzz no sound. The sound-source doesn't manifest itself out of the blue.

      Kehaulani. All you need is vibration, whether it's the classic buzz or whether it's phwooooo. Try it. Produce phwooo and as you hold out the oooo... place the mouthpiece against your lips. You will get the same sound as Tine Thing. Then do the classic buzz, and you will also get a sound that is a bet harsher. Both techniques produce a vibration that moves air within the mouthpiece.

      It's at 22:09 and she says"I can't buzz". And doesn't. When she plays the mouthpiece then pulls it away... she sounds the phwoooo... which is identical to the sound my embouchure produces. Really... Watch this closely once again. When she pulls away, there is no buzz. A sound can be made without buzzing and Tine and I make this same sound. Again, watch carefully and closely.

      Then i can go in there and sit among ALL my trumpets naked.

      The dripping of valve oil directly onto the skin can enhance the skin's texture, for sure.

    • RE: Drill measures

      @PortugaHorns said in Drill measures:

      @Trumpetsplus I play on my custom mouthpieces. You can see it on my personal table / chart. I love my 5mm. made a re-shape on cup and backbore to balance the drill. What a sound and easier airflow. Better lower range and highs, resonance at full capacity with awesome dynamics. I havenโ€™t a clue that was #8 Drill. Now Iโ€™m better informed and still searching and trying new approaches.

      I love my two 5mm's as well. What I think is so cool about the concept of this mouthpiece is how amazing the throat is to enhancing the efficiency of the other components.

      The information as to the physics of the trumpet is a nice review.

      The site says: "There are various different mouthpiece shapes-a mouthpiece with a deep cup will produce a mellower sound, while a mouthpiece with a shallower cup will produce a bright, piercing sound."

      Again, I disagree. A deep cup gives more vibratory potential for the lip as Dr. Mark demonstrated in another post by Adams, yes? Perhaps a more centered sound, but not necessary mellower. The trumpet takes care of most of that. From my 50 years+ of playing experience, I believe the throat of the mouth piece has more to do with the sound quality.

      This site looses credibility from it's first line:

      The trumpeter produces sound from the trumpet by buzzing his lips.

      This is just wrong. There are some of us that do not produce a sound from a buzz. Myself as an example and Tine Thing Helseth is another. I remain in good company, yes?

    • RE: Tone Centering for Trumpet (Centering & Tuning) Part III

      @Kujo20 said in Tone Centering for Trumpet (Centering & Tuning) Part III:

      Gents,

      Itโ€™s time to end this. Take it to private messaging if you must, but please let it be done in the public threads.

      Kujo, I have notified the administrator about the negativity in this thread.

      I agree with you and hope the amazing subject of this theme continues to develop the educational potential that it truly provides. Both Dr. Mark and Grune have amazing things to say. Let's all respect each others' opinions, that is all I am requesting.

      Why do golfers have 9 irons and 3 woods in their bags? To have more control on how the reach their goal, whether that means driving the ball with a 3 wood out 200 yards to the center of a dogleg to the right, as opposed to using the driver that would take them 250 yards into the rough. Or using the 9 iron to drop the ball 80 yards onto the green as opposed to using the 7 iron that would take them over the green into the sand trap.

      I have collected trumpets to get me to reach the goal I have toward the gig or session I am hired to play. Through trumpet hangs and visiting my locally favorite music stores, I get to sample horns that when playing, places each one into the context as to whether that horn will help me optimize the quality of the type of performance to which I bring the instrument.

      Let me explain: I have two flugelhorns. I use one for a back up (in case the other is in the shop which has happened on different occasions). I then choose the Getzen Eterna when playing outdoor venues and more contemporary (jazz rock) songs as it projects very well. I choose the Kanstul 1526 for venues that will be in small, intimate clubs with more rich ballads being used for the set list.

      I have accumulated three lead horns, and must admit, two of which I rarely play out anymore. As I was unsure if my Harrelson would ever materialize, I first used the Super Recording and found it's brightness and ease of playing filled the role as a great lead horn. I then after several years of coxing with the price coming down each time, decided to adopt the Getzen Power bore, and that horn was not only efficient and bright, but also had laser crisp slotting and then became my lead horn of choice. Then my Harrelson came through and that horn is just the most amazing lead horn as it takes the qualities of the other two to another level... and it is nice eye candy.

      My Martin Committee, that one I take from my bag to play with small ensembles.

      My Olds Recordings, I use for classical work as they have a bold resonance that announces that a classical piece has arrived.

      My Ambassador, I take with me when I travel on vacation as if it gets lost, or stolen from the room, it is easily replaced.

      My Allora Pocket trumpet is another travel horn that goes with me on longer trips when I have to pack more cloths in the bags.

      So that is how I rationalize my "Reasons to collect trumpets?"
