Adequate, as always my fair laad. Most impresive;) All kidding doc;)

In better shape;)

Had to think a bit;)

Damn frat house around here. No matter most women flee us;)

Thanks for sticking around Flugalgirl;)

Well, i have two opinions. It was his, and he did what he wanted with it. BUT, he started with a better horn than he ended up with. AND he could have bought one of those on GW site for $20....

I have considered buying a cheap Piccolo myself just to piddle with. Real ones are very expensive.....$100 gets you an Injun Special;)

Good natured on my end too;)

GREAT student horns for sure......Still better than lots of modern entry level horns......

Another TV show theme i taught myself in Jr high;)

I would have been a better high school player if i heeded that advice;)

Doc's 92nd is coming too. Amazing career! Amazing player. Amazing man!

Unless it gets into using likenesses without permission and such. Doc, Maynard, some new guys too, like Louis on the homepage, with the heading "aspire to be like these guys?"

They all work a designed, don't they?

Agreed, though I believe what we call fake news differs;) All good though. We are Trumpet Brothers;)

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;)

Toby, with today's LED bulbs, you can get a lot of light out of small bulbs;)

Sometimes its a fun stress reliever though.....

I have a couple of early 20's 80A's and they have conventional valves. Not sure when the switch was.

Agreed. What comes back is minuscule.

REALLY big words;) Impressive! lol!

Over the last 3 years, i have bought at least 30 Olds horns, mostly Ambassadors, and have yet to find a valve problem, except for one driven out with a hammer. Olds had GREAT world class valves.
