Enjoy your holiday and be thankful.

God bless you with full and rapid recovery.

I have developed the quadrangle so we can give up the triangle and still enjoy the 'ding'.

I saw that yesterday and enjoyed it. I really liked the B5 bell

I played a 239 C for years...great horn

God bless!

Been playing a few hours?? Buzz the mouthpiece five minutes on the easiest pitch for you, take a break, do it again. Take a break then play a few long tones on low C and D. Stay relaxed. Add low B and Bb or Eb when you feel like it. Repeat that everyday for a few days. Do a couple of sessions per day.

Use "Corrosion Cracker". I watched a tech use it to loosen a stuck slide on my Schilke and have kept some around ever since.

Congratulations I had two surgeries and a tooth infection that resulted in a lower partial. I still work on it each day. I found posting youtube vids helped me a little. I had something to work toward. I find I must use a very slight mouthpiece placement change.

Blessed Easter to all.

@GeorgeB Congratulations on your comeback and progress

I have seen one of those.

@Brett-Duchon I think I would have said, "It's none of your business!" ... or something less polite

Use a C trumpet, take it down a step and add 2 flats.
