... the link for the second video gives a Certs Breath Mint commercial. What should I be listening for?

Substitute "Jazz" for "candy mint" and "Classical" for "breath mint".

Is It Jazz or Is It Classical?

@manfredv I figured that, considering the effort you put into your project, that this form of photography might interest you. Yes, I know that's not what you meant in your comment, and yes, I intended humor in my response, but I think an appropriate way to archive your work might be achieved by using a process which involves the dedication you had to your goal. Here's something I found when I was looking for a way to respond to your post: https://medium.com/vantage/a-first-timers-foray-into-wet-plate-photography-495680004324

@Curlydoc

This is the correct, accepted way of playing Taps, according to Bugles Across America as well. Here's a nice version:

I will post some pictures when I figure out how.

Here's how:

I've been getting emails from TB I thought I would check it out again and happen to come across this post and I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

Thank you! I’ve been a member of this site for one year and two months. You are the first person to agree with me about anything. I really appreciate it and I personally welcome you back!!!

I disagree! Uh... wait a minute... what I meant was... uh....

It's already been over a year. How about that? Time flies.

@Kehaulani "It's everywhere." Let's hope not.

Welcome to TrumpetBoards!

Your goal of playing this piece is achievable if you keep it simple and play the high notes down an octave, staying in the same register as what is played through 0:42 in this video. Do not strain to try to achieve too much too soon. Playing high notes comes as an eventual result of playing the rest carefully and may take much longer than you expect to be able to do so. Lots of patience is required.

As for a suitable trumpet, Thomann seems to have a good reputation, and I expect that if you contact them, they can help guide you in your purchase. There are many members of TrumpetBoards who are happy to assist as well. Feel free to ask whatever questions you like.

@Kehaulani said in Do You Prefer Classical, Jazz, Rock or Other?:

I have a guilty pleasure - disco. Maybe it just comes from playing so much, but it's fun to play.

Thanks for reminding me! I'd place Disco between Blues and Classical... or maybe between Classical and Marches... or maybe between Marches and New Age... or.... Never mind; it's in there somewhere.

The CNC router, again, is mostly for designs. Around here, things like religious plaques with scriptural inscriptions sell fairly well. The CNC router can make those in a jiffy. However, my main goal is to get into hardwood furniture making. I also want to build a woodworking marketplace online.

I purchased an old radial arm saw and a book about radial arm saws.

Careful with that axe, Eugene!

Aside from other interests posted earlier in this thread, the sounds of which are music to my ears, Big Band and Jazz are pretty equal at the top of my list, which includes 40s thru 80s, Rock, Latin, Blues, Classical, Marches, and some New Age calming/meditating music, in that order.

You reminded me that this provides a dopamine fix for me (not as much as my driving a rental car there in much the same manner did, though).

One thing to keep in mind is that wood has internal stresses due to its uneven and layered structure that, once you start to shape it, are released, allowing other ones to dominate. This can be exaggerated by humidity or changes in humidity. A competent woodworker will spend his entire career fighting, compensating for, and (usually, but not always) overcoming warping. The good thing is that even Murphy's Law cannot overcome the overall satisfaction of creating something with your own hands

I have done that with Clark 2 and scale variations of Clark 2 when I feel masochistic.

If you want to indulge in masochism, play a tune in every key.
