@Vulgano-Brother So sorry to hear of your experience. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery! I expect that you will get good answers to your questions, and I also expect that time and patience will be part of those answers. Your doctors should be able to help guide you, too.

@Andrew-Stark Welcome to TrumpetBoards!

I've played and owned more than a few trumpets, and I'm cured of N+1, so my #1 instrument is my 1962 Olds Studio, which is not only my favorite Olds, but my favorite trumpet, period.

The Olds Recording cornet has a tuning slide trigger, too.

I stand corrected. Here's the explanation:

Here's how I post photos on TrumpetBoards:

1. Make sure there's a photo on the hard drive, whether in Pictures or Downloads.

2. Use https://fileminimizer-pictures.en.softonic.com/download to compress the file.

3. Click on the Upload Image icon (second from the right above the message body in Reply on TrumpetBoards).

4. , Select the FILEminimizer version of the image.

5. Click Open (my example result below).

@barliman2001 I hope rehab goes well for you and that you'll be back in good health soon.

I'm going to listen to the philharmonic symphony orchestra, where I expect to never be exposed to the compositions of John Cage.

Welcome to TrumpetBoards!

This mouthpiece appears to have been manufactured decades ago. Without any markings on it, we haven't much clue as to who made it. The only thing similar today is by Best Brass http://www.bestbrass.com/mouthpiece/ . The mouthpiece in your picture appears to be modular, whereby the cup section and the backbore/shank section are interchangeable with other internal shapes to tailor a mouthpiece to a particular player's preference.

@flugelgirl , @Dale-Proctor - I wish you the best of health!

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

... or the man whom William Vacchiano called "his best student", Alan Rubin.

I heard a toast the other day: "May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions!"

Update: This variation does apply to Studio trumpets, cornets, and trombones. Also, there is a third variation resembling an illuminated movie theater sign.

Two-tone Olds Studio trumpet bells came with two types of engraving, either perpendicular to the bell in a form similar to a family crest, or parallel to the bell in a form similar to a banner or billboard. Does anyone have insight into why this is? I can speculate on a number of explanations, but they are just guesses. I'm looking for something verifiable.

Also, does this variation apply to Studio cornets and trombones as well?

@acarcido When administrator created TrumpetBoards, a few former TrumpetMaster members discovered it and spread the word among other former members with whom they had maintained contact or otherwise spread the word about the new trumpet forum. Since then, TrumpetBoards has developed into a warmer and notably less contentious community than its predecessor, and additional TrumpetMaster members stumbled across it along the way, you among them.

Some are sadly no longer with us, and I still wonder what happened to familiar TrumpetMaster members who have neither gravitated toward this community nor to Trumpet Herald. I remember you, and I'm glad that you finally found us. Welcome! Or is it welcome back?

I'm not sure that realizing your job doesn't pay what you'd like qualifies as a mental health issue.
