@georgeb Thank you for your kind words. I've seen a couple of Morrison's instructive videos; I'll have to check out the rest.

Just shorten it to "The Moz", and be done with it!

I knew about "likes", but I'm not sure about views. Views were 997 a minute ago.

I was thinking about how a Martin Committee allows some flexibility in pitch, so that one can bend notes if desired, which also requires the player's ability to nail the pitch when needed. This reminds me of the trombone and also fretless string instruments, such as the violin. Considering the quality of the Martin Committee, perhaps it should have been named "Stradivarius".

@dale-proctor Not my best moment. Mea culpa.

Just a quick couple of additional observations: The 3rd slide threaded rod has been shortened, and the tuning slide appears to be a silver-plated round slide, rather than the usual D-shaped piece.

Barbeque, please.

@trumpetb Matching mouthpiece to sound concept is a part of the process of creating different timbres, too. Of course, the instrument has to agree with your choice, or what comes out the bell will be disappointing and troublesome.

Nothing beats this.

There. Fixed it.

@dr-go Wow! That's cool! Thanks for finding it.

Maybe they could adapt this* instead:

I think that many, if not most, people have certain natural abilities that with practice enable them to do relatively quickly and easily what others may not even begin to be able to accomplish. Does this make any of them/us a "natural"? I believe so.

... unless you meant "natural" in this sense:

Q. Is there such a thing as a “natural player”?
