@dr-go Till Bronner's interpretation is every bit as good as Uan Rasey's IMO. It evokes a feeling of melancholy sadness and loss without the undertone of pain and senseless tragedy I hear in Uan's version.

RE: Trumpet Soloists on Soundtracks
@georgeb Speaking of Uan Rasey: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0711107/ . Two of his that come readily to my memory are "Love Theme" from Chinatown and "Gotta Dance" from Singin' in the Rain.

RE: Alan Rubin's Trumpet
Aside from appearing to be a Bach Stradivarius, what caught my eye was the reversed front bell brace, the finger ring under the third slide, and the red upper valve cap felts. Upon further examination, there is only one third valve slide brace, and there is no third valve slide stop rod, just the piece that the rod would go through on the moveable part of the slide, and I'd say that the tuning slide water key is an Amado.
Alan Rubin lived up to his name, "Mr. Fabulous". Whenever I think of "Peter Gunn Theme", I think of The Blues Brothers' version, and vice versa. Hearing the way he handles it continues to be an inspiration. I've posted it before, and here it is again for those who share my enthusiasm for it:

I, too had been gone for ten days, due to internet access difficulties, and this banned thing puzzles me.

RE: An Interesting Situation I ran Into Today - Wonder if anyone Else Has Or Your Thoughts
@bigdub said in An Interesting Situation I ran Into Today - Wonder if anyone Else Has Or Your Thoughts:
Another thing here is that NO brand or make of trumpet is going to make a great player out of any of these students. Repetition of correct methods. Lots of repetition, even on a no name trumpet will do it.
Excellent point. Some of us started out on TSOs, and we weren't discouraged by the obstacles these hunks of tubing challenged us with. A good player will learn how to play regardless of the equipment. Of course, there comes a time when it makes no sense to fight an inferior instrument. At that point a substantial upgrade is in order, according to the student's ability and budget.

RE: I have decided on a Superhorn!!
@administrator You may not need a trumpet stand, since you may never want to allow it out of your hands! Eating, sleeping, etc. could become awkward, though. Enjoy!

@SSmith1226 Thanks for mentioning John Harner; I had forgotten his association with Kenton '76.

@Bob-Pixley Those would be the Saturn whisper keys, right?

I expect that this will be an "Easy Quiz" for some; then I'll learn what 3 & 4 are.

No that would be Pierced Trumpet Tits with Rings! The Trumpet Tits purists know that was only with the standard water key.
Handel wrote his Water Music in three keys. To which key are you referring?

RE: How Do I Date A King 2055T
Using this from TH https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1367115 and a search on eBay, I'd guess MasterWannabe's 2055T is possibly a 1986-1987 model if it says Eastlake above the serial number, which would be perpendicular to the valve casing, but more likely an early 2000 or later, especially if the serial number is parallel to the casing. There's a claimed 2001 Silver Flair listed with serial number 85XXXX. A trumpet with a serial number starting with a 3 would almost have to have been manufactured in 2000.
Once again, using the information from TH, Richard III's euphonium appears to be simpler to decipher. 1995-2000 would be my guess, thinking that a letter prefix was used and thinking that an A could have been used for euphoniums instead of the S said to have been used for trumpets at the time.
I welcome corrections from those more knowledgeable on the subject.
