If you can remember it, you weren't really there.

Well, I've just resolved the conflict by, finally, just ignoring it. I used to be a big, although relatively unsuccessful. buzzer, both free-buzz and mouthpiece buzz. i no longer try to have a buzz as the main source of the sound but thinking more of the sound emanating from a vibrating column within the horn which, in turn, causes the lips to vibrate. BTAIM, I no longer worry about the physics.

This what I do.
*Start with leadpipe blowing to start the sensation of letting the vibration come from as passive and relaxed lip formation as I can. Then, as I play the trumpet, I ty to keep that relaxed, passive formation as I blow. Then carry that concept throughout the playing day.

Gad, the rhythmic interp[ay and layering was incredible!

Very fluid and fertile.
But somebody help me out. Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but what universe was that piano player in? Was he tight with the other players? Inquiring (disjunct?) minds want to know.

Have you checked with Divitt? If they can't help you, maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Maybe he could attach a portable grill to the bell and kill two birds with one stone.

Well, knowing the true acoustical combination of wind and lips has helped me be aware of not having to muscle the lips. But nevertheless, I can't wrap my head around one blowing air into the mouthpiece then into the horn without the lips vi vibrating. And that vibration is what I've always known as a buzz.

Maybe you let the lips vibrate instead of using a forced buzz but you still have to relax and contract them as you ascend and descend, n'est-ce pas? And isn't that vibration a buzz?

I was not aware, George, thanks.

On second thought, I was aware. I've got one strength for newest valves, another for 1st and 3rd valve slides, and another for the tuning slide. Whew. In other words . . "Yes".

I've mostly switched to B.E.R.P. too. What I like about Hetmann is its various grades.

I got a play test om a horn I ordered too. Nice touch. Hope it Arrives O.K. Enjoy.

Super-human task. Congratulations.

Am I reading this wrong or is it a response of only one post to the question? Maybe this post is more tongue-in-cheek than anything?

That's O.K. the supreme court will see to it that you are very familiar with that word.

Rather obtuse, LOL But yes. I get it.

It's a play on words on the old elocution exercise, "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain".

There's (or was) a well-known Rogers & Hammerstein song in "My Fair Lady" that uses it.

Thank you.

No Ymahas at all?

Well, you know-the pain from Spain falls mainly in the plain.
