    • For those who remember gunshowtickets

      I spoke with Giancarlo DiFazio's father this afternoon, and the trial of Gian's widow has been postponed AGAIN. January 6, 2020 is the new court date. Hopefully there will be no more delays, and justice will be served.

      I noticed that Giancarlo's dad, Nino, has become a member of TrumpetBoards, so anyone wishing to communicate with him will be able to do so by starting a chat with difazio.

    • RE: Mouthpiece issue

      @rowuk ... or he should use the Bach numbering system. You know... the number of high notes is stamped into the mouthpiece, along with which pitch the mouthpiece contains! For example, a 10-1/2 C enables you to play ten and one half octaves of the note "C", whereas a 2 only has two undetermined high notes available.

    • RE: Differences between grades of instruments

      In a basic sense, beginning instruments are made to survive inexperienced handling and provide the player with a positive sense of playing on a budget, intermediate instruments are affordable instruments made with more attention to things like intonation and response for players who can discern such qualities, and finally, advanced instruments are well-thought-out and designed to optimize characteristics that enable advanced players to play without concern for compensating for an instrument's shortcomings.

      As for Miles Davis, he had a very high opinion of himself and perhaps feigned insult at being handed a trumpet he recognized as being beneath his lofty standards. Show any number of members of TB a picture of a trumpet, and they'll likely be able to tell you the make, model, and year range of that horn. As for Miles not being able to do anything with the one he was handed, the truth of the matter is that a good player can make any horn sound just fine. I've said in the past that there are some well-known trumpet players that could play a cast iron bathtub and make it sound good.

    • RE: A little humour

      And that's how the fight started ........

      One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift . .
      The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.
      When she asked me why, I replied,
      "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
      And that's how the fight started.....

      My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion:
      she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
      I asked her, "Do you know him?"
      "Yes", she sighed,
      "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we
      split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."
      "Good grief!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating
      that long?"
      And then the fight started...

      When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
      But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.
      Always something more important to me.
      Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
      When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass,
      busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
      I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.
      I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.
      I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
      The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

      My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
      She asked, "What's on TV?"
      I said, "Dust."
      And then the fight started...

      My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
      She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds."
      I bought her a bathroom scale.
      And then the fight started......

      I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!
      The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
      He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'
      So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'
      That's when the fight started.

    • RE: Trumpet slide grease

      @henrylr I understand that you're going to sell this trumpet and want to know if what you have on hand will suffice, as opposed to having to buy an additional product. Considering the condition of the horn, wouldn't it be best to sell it with the proper lubricants? Never mind that the new owner may decide to clean it out and redo all the lubricants, and never mind that buying the right slide grease will diminish your return on the price by about ten dollars; it's just good practice to sell any merchandise without undisclosed issues or cutting corners. Besides, you'll have the slide grease to use on other instruments.

    • RE: Trumpet slide grease

      Why not use regular slide grease designed for tuning and valve slides? It's affordable and appropriate. Check with Dillon Music https://www.dillonmusic.com/ , for example. Sure, you can use trombone slide grease, petroleum jelly, wheel bearing grease, lanolin, lard... whatever, but using the best product designed for its specific use will provide the best results, and without negative effects.

      I like Robert Palmer's album Ridin' High. Here's the playlist; it transitions from tune to tune: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1jK8eG2_jXP0uFbJ7_3D2bjECVZ43hYe

      @administrator said in Der Mond ist Aufgegangen:

      Does the moon really rise? I've never used that phrase.

      Not only does it rise and set, it also waxes and wanes.

      I always find it odd and annoying when a new member posts a question (in this case, two), gets good responses, and then........... nothing! No acknowledgement, no more posts.......... nothing!

    • RE: Carol Brass Sticky Valves

      @orly61 As for the vibration, many decades ago my new Elkhart Bach Model 37 had a buzz that turned out to be incomplete solder on one of the first valve tubes. While it was being repaired under warranty, I had the opportunity to use my band director's King Silversonic. There was no comparison between the two; I was glad to get my Bach back. That trumpet is one of the few horns I would like to still have. Anyway, the vibration in your Carol Brass trumpet could be something that is not possible to see, and needs inspection by someone qualified and experienced.

    • RE: Bots are getting scary

      @administrator If you can't find/create another situation within the industry, what other strengths do you have that you can turn into a career change? Determination can sustain you in taking a new direction. Remember that it's common these days to explore different careers before finding a good fit.
