During his previous heyday, TW emphasized his wood strokes away from the game and did exceedingly well. Then he hit the doldrums when his method of practice was called out, and he didn't try to score a hole in one for many years. Perhaps he's back in the swing of things now, giving his balls plenty of action.
I love the "Greg Gutfeld Show". It gives my abs and the corners of my mouth a good workout.
For those of us who don't like to scrub out horns on a regular basis, one good scrub, followed by Herco Spitballs once a week will keep the nasties out, especially when combined with good oral hygiene. The only horns I have to scrub are the newly acquired ones. Once done, I inspect the insides periodically to find them clean every time.
As I commented on YT, the piping on the case signifies this trumpet as the Cheddar Cheesy model. The features of this instrument verify this classification.
Right now most of us have more answers than questions, as we've been around awhile, and there are fewer mysteries to solve. As newer, less experienced players find TB, we'll have more technical chat, and we all can learn from whatever comes up. Also, we'll find things we want to learn more about. It will evolve. What's that rule again?... oh, yeah... patience.
@ButchA My favorite Pink Floyd album is Ummagumma. My friends and I would go to Pink Floyd concerts whenever they played in our part of the world back in the day. Dark Side of the Moon was the last tour we saw. The stage shows were always spectacular. David Gilmour is on my "Top 5" Rock guitarist list. Jimi Hendrix is the only non-Brit on that list.
If you can hear when you're in tune and when you're not and can correct it when you're not, you can play trombone. One advantage to the trombone is that once you get the slide positions down (and unfortunately, they're different for each partial, meaning lots of different, but similar positions to assimilate and reproduce precisely), you can play every note with maximum resonance and not have to lip it in tune. It's not simple, and it definitely is not easy, but the potential is there.
@Dr-GO So they contain more water and consequently don't need to be used as often as other types, particularly Amado?
The position of most resonance for me is approximately 57.5/42.5 %. I'm not being facetious about this; it's not as different as 60/40 and not as equal as 55/45. Over the years my mouthpiece position has moved toward using more upper lip.
@Dr-GO How do you like the Saturn water keys?
