@Charles77 Glad you are here, and good luck. Got a horn yet? Get a mouthpiece and start buzzing a bit everyday. Keep relaxed and breathe natural/deep.

I went through some of that. I finally lost 4 bottom front teeth to infection. My partial plate works well. While your waiting to see what transpires increase the speed of you air stream a bit. Your posture doing ok while playing? That affects me a lot.

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

Play it all.

I have seen one of those.

God bless!

Greetings, and welcome among us.

Blessed Easter to all.

Getchell Bk 2 helped me. Bk 1 and Sigmund Herring studies are also great for transposing.

Today I played on an old army Conn trumpet from the early fifties. Satin silver with gold wash inner bell. I got it for $25.00 years ago. I tried my Marcinkiewicz model 3 mouthpiece. Mercy! That was sweet I'll try again tomorrow to see if I was just dreaming LOL

God bless you with full and rapid recovery.

@j-jericho Great!

Glad you're here. Do some mouthpiece buzzing and long tones.

@georgeb I have had that. Buzzed my mouthpiece some for a few days. No problems. I dozed a lot

I, too, have recovered from a triple by-pass. It was a shocking diagnosis for me because I had very little in the way of symptoms. I just took it easy regarding playing. What got me was that I developed a tooth infection and that is quite dangerous for a by-pass patient. I lost my two front bottom teeth. Playing with a partial plate is ok, but different. My embouchure had to be adjusted a little.
EVERYONE READING THIS: GET YOURSELF CHECKED! DON'T LET A HEART PROBLEM SURPRISE YOU!! NOT EVERYONE FEELS A SYMPTOM.

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

Happy Easter to you, too

Who manufactures Victory trumpets? They produce the - Revelation, Armageddon, and Jesus trumpets.

Enjoy your holiday and be thankful.
