Selmer Radial 1970
i don't think it will work for long if TM stays down.
Toby, with today's LED bulbs, you can get a lot of light out of small bulbs;)
Hammered appearing paint is available for cheapskates;) Maybe on a Tristar;)
What mouthpiece will give me the Triple Super C? I only want to practice 10 mins a day too, like Lynn Nicholson says he does.
Figured i would get it out of the way;)
I really don't remember much music from high school, other than football season stuff. Amazing how fast the fight song came back to me. Fingerings and all;)
Also the Star Spangles Banner.
I realize this is how "modern websites" like Youtube do it, but i prefer seeing everything in the order it was posted. For example if someone replies to post #3, it shouldn't be under 3, but at the bottom. Does that make sense? Is that a setting i can control? I keep missing the replies.....
Doc in his prime. So accurate with every note, such a great sound.......
Once i get to the point of having the elusive thing known as free time, i plan on finding and joining a community band. It, and free time, is whats holding me back from a real comeback;) I'm just a hack now. Hard to make the 5-10 minutes a day now. But i just got an Olds Special trumpet in which gets my chops anxious. Very sexy trumpet, probably late 50's. Perfect closet Queen with poor finish, but relatively intact. I have an Olds special cornet, but haven't spent much time with her. First Special Trumpet though;)
Finally figured out i was replying o individuals, not the discussion. I have an 80A from '23 thats been on Ebay a while. I priced it high enough, and the pics weren't good enough that i still have it;) Since i posted it, a gentleman here supplied me with some missing parts for the A-B mechanism, AND i acquired another in much worse shape for a parts horn. I think it was 1 year newer. Just never got around to taking better pictures. Only real problem? Whenever it was re-lacquered, probably 50 years ago, it was buffed too hard. Lots of the engraving can barely be read. But it still plays sweet. Probably why i haven't taken better pics. It may sell then;)
Most won't. Its sad, but true. We have been transformed into a replacement society. No one "fixes" things any longer. Or at least very few do.
Got to be 1880's i would think. Such craftsmanship.
Doc's 92nd is coming too. Amazing career! Amazing player. Amazing man!
My 400 is here. Original case, even some literature. Roughly a 1959 model. Lacquer is 80%. Only a very little amount of the bell flattened out. Small fall at one time. Wasn't sitting long enough to have anything stuck either. Certainly very lightly used for a 60 year old cornet. After i get it cleaned up, i will post some pics.
I bet i love it! That might not stop me from putting it on Ebay at a hefty price. We will see.
Can't keep them all......
Would have to build a bigger house;)
Well George, if you can't find a King Cleveland, i guess that Conn will do;)
Wish i had snapped up ALL of them then. Ambassador, Mezdez, Special, Recordings, all would have been nice investments. I think they STILL are, but no one can be sure.....Even Ambassadors sure have gone up in 3 years.....
Nice video! Might turn your camera sideways next time though, thats how the youngsters do it now;)
Or not, i will still watch;)
