    • RE: Is this the World's Brightest Trumpet?

      The brightest I have, and played is the Conn Vocabell as per TobyLou. It is the brightest in my stable with any Lead mpce. I have not tried the Buescher, so I do bow to Trent...

      This is my actual horn - still got it. Ozwinds couldn't move it! Museum grade restoration. Magic Horn

    • RE: Bugles Across America

      I am a member - decided to join when MH370 went down off the WA coast, and thought there may be a need for a Bugler. Bought a Getzen Field Bugle. I have never been called upon, but have introduced an American friend from New York City who has emigrated here.

      I play regularly for ANZAC Day on the British Bugle.
      Still enjoy the BAA Newsletters, and always ready - if needed.

    • RE: An exercise in futility?

      @stumac If you cannot make it work, then no one can. They are so hard to play when they are a good horn, so I would try to recover my cost, by melting it down or breaking it up, and using as Fishing Sinkers. You can recover $100 of fish at market prices fairly easily, then write it off.

    • RE: How many measures on a tank of air?

      @Doodlin I still mark my parts with BREATH Marks - especially where some phrases are not going to allow a breath... a BB is an indicator of a Big Breath.. to carry me through. Also I mark with the Comma where a section needs to breath together for rhythmic reasons, and entry reasons. DON'T forget a pencil at any rehearsal, and Mark your parts in pencil. More markings mean less stress,

      @BigDub Yes, the Conn Vocabell 40B - a peashooter that plays like a Light Sabre.

    • RE: Great Idea!

      I am here, but changed Names.
      I figure a better coat for the new site. Maybe no-one will recognize me... I've lost weight.
      Stumac tipped me off to TrumpetBoards. I'd lost interest in most sites, time poor and playing in too many bands, as well as some regular work hours interrupting my old routine. Good luck, so far it looks a winner.

    • RE: Easter Services

      I will be playing with an ensemble at Uniting Church Bacchus Marsh Vic.

      We will have one rehearsal (this coming Tuesday) and will get the book then, So pretty much a sight reading job.
      Happy Easter to all.

      It's good to see you over here now, Peter. We still recognize you... and your "weight" loss. Your hints helped, though.

      We're a smart bunch of fellers here

      And girls, too. Sorry about that slip.

      I thought I was the only one that made and wore slips!!

    • RE: Is this the World's Brightest Trumpet?

      @Mike-Ansberry I agree with the LOUD side of the 40B. Mine is also a bright horn IMO. I cannot make it blend, it cuts through all - maybe I am confusing the Volume with Bright... It is a great soloist horn IMO.

    • RE: Blues Band with Horns

      @Dr-GO It sounds cool.
      The whole Vid is very professionally shot. That would be a fun band to have your input. Give us some more links when you have your sound mixed in.

      Not sure about the Blues Brothers look... maybe a unique look would help identify the group. It is strictly Vocals lead? Some instrumentals to show off the band individuals would be fun as well.

      Keep us in the loop

    • RE: pet peeves

      @Kehaulani said in pet peeves:

      Once, in Scotland, I went from men's shop to men's shop looking for some suspenders. I was met only with quizzical and cautious looks. Finally, I was pointed to a women's lingerie shop, where I found out that suspenders in English meant garter belt in American! I guess they must've thought that I left my goat back at the hotel.

      Americans just get it so wrong, but also so right

      What a wonderful night; fantastic international singers, and the Town Hall was jumping. Had a ball. We only do about 4 rehearsals with this Orchestra. It does not rehearse weekly...so our next performance is September, so will probably start rehearsals again in late July/August.

      Tomorrow,..ahh that's now today, I will be playing with a Jazz Combo group at a Lions Market day. Only 3 hours, 10 to 1pm. Then a photoshoot. Another late day.
