RE: Fast Tempo and old farts
Just wondering about the positioning of the fingers effect on speed. I was taught and confirmed that proper fingering technique gives your fingers a mechanical advantage that makes playing passages fast both easy and precise. Here's a great example;

RE: I really should be a better player.
Old bodies don't recover as fast as young ones. Old brains don't learn as fast as young ones. I've had serious interruptions in my playing career*, and each time the recovery was slower. I wonder how I did all the things I did that seem out of reach now, but I'll continue within my capabilities to improve in spite of the frustration. It still feels good to play, and having the knowledge and experience to be able to play better as time goes on is a reassuring balance to the disappointment of things happening slowly.

RE: Harmon Mute Showdown!
@ACB said in Harmon Mute Showdown!:
Let me know your thoughts!Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate these mutes!
What I heard:
Tom Crown aluminum - Nice bite to the sound
Tom Crown copper - A bit more muted (no pun intended)
Tom Crown brass - Velvety
Soulo - A hollow, but intimate sound. Worst intonation of the group.
Faxx copper - Very nasal
Trumcor Zinger - Full, less "Harmon" sound, more open
Best Brass aluminum - Dry, smooth sound
Best Brass copper - Full, resonant*, almost like a cup mute*
Best Brass brass - Airy, mellow*. Like a straight mute*
Jo Ral Bubble aluminum - Wooden soundI realize that you do not stock original Harmon mutes nor Humes & Berg, but I would like to have had these in the mix for comparison.
- Yes, I realize that the terms "resonant" and "mellow" normally apply to straight mutes and cup mutes respectively, but this was a comparison of Harmon mutes, and the terms I used help describe the cup and straight mute timbres I heard with these examples.

RE: Bugler's Holiday from 1995
Hearing Bugler's Holiday brings back memories every time I hear it. It's been 57 years since two good friends of mine and I played it at band contest in high school.
