Hi Dr Mark. I figured some kid would post it soon, so i beat him to it;)

My turn at the Keg;)

Didn't get the joke as well;)

DAMN!!I told you that was PERSONAL and to keep it to yourself!

Must....STOP....looking......RESIST urge to.....BUY MORE TRUMPETS!!!!!!

Thanks! What i was looking for......

Somehow i missed it back in the day too. The Youtube one is the first time i saw it. Corny, but GREAT at the same time. I loved the band scene with Weller and the pocket trumpet too.

Any experience with these?

I have sold things that had just posted, with only 1 picture uploaded. Didnt have time to post more it sold so fast. Some 6 months later. Just sold my 80A a month ago and it had been listed close to a year. Just takes the right looker.

If they were to outsource to Asia, and import and sell from California, it kind of defeats the purpose. I figure the kids just are no into the business like their dad was. Not meant as an insult, or bad talk, its Just a guess, but it happens quite often.

I can't believe no one ripped me for watching such a cheesy movie;)

These are sweet horns. And TANKS! Might be tougher than the Olds student horns of the day. I have one in raw brass.

Weller solo at 1:20

Was watching "The Adventure's of Buckaroo Banzai on YouTube yesterday. ( i was a bit stressed and wanted to clear my head) A young Peter Weller played a solo on a pocket trumpet around the 19 minute mark. I remember reading he actually plays. Rather than a list of actors who play, how many played in a movie?

i started picking up old trumpets a few years ago, just being amazed at all the different types and designs. Most aren't famous;) I still love to line them up and see the differences, as well as the similarities.

I have the mouthpieces ready to go.....

one day at a time. its an overused phrase, but so true.

Thanks Barliman!

About a year ago, on the other site, someone had posted a video about a trumpet brand that started with the letter A Antosia? Or similar. It was basically a G Bugel. I ALMOST bought one. Still might some day. About $1600 in Lacquer and Gold was an option on IT for only a little more. Nothing wrong with this for what it is, i bet it plays well enough, but if i were to want st spend money on a gold horn, it would not be this one;)

I bet the $79 trumpets play better.
