If you use the "Recent" icon at the top of the page, the most recent posts are shown with the newest on top. If you use the "Unread" icon, you will see the newest on top. [Ooops, that's optional -- see the added comment at the end] In either case, you can select the most recent post of a thread by clicking on the link at the right margin.

If you access the main menu and go to a topic, you have the ability to sort the threads either way:

Actually, the order shown in the Results and Unread is an option as well. I hadn't noticed.

@Kehaulani said in Buy your horns here, not there!:

Well, I give a vote for the following. I have used them all.
Austin Custom Brass (ACB) https://www.austincustombrass.biz/
Wichita Band Instrument Co. http://www.wichitaband.com/
Woodwind and Brasswind https://www.wwbw.com/

Another vote for Austin Custom Brass. And I'll also recommend Dillon Music https://www.dillonmusic.com/

@Niner said in I was a member of the old Trumpetmaster board once.:

Can you edit a post after you have posted? I wanted to correct a typing error as in "new" instead of "no".

Click on the three dots to the right of Reply/Quote. It'll let you edit or delete.

@Kehaulani said in Monetization of/for TrumpetBoards:

Guys, no offense intended, but I think this forum has to elevate itself a little bit above just jokes and pretty pictures before it would be taken seriously enough to justify outside financial support.

At the moment, we're just a bunch of happy campers who've found a replacement for our beloved TM (RIP). So none of us is asking how to blow double C's in a week or if a new mouthpiece is the solution to our woes (since we have none, or at least few). It will take time for new folks who do have questions or want to discuss serious issues to find us -- it would help if a Google search for "Trumpet forums" would point to TB. At this point we don't appear in the search results at all.

@administrator Does disabling Ad Blockers help?

I thought this ad, shown at the top of the TB page, was a bit ironic (if that's the right word).

I've actually disabled my adblocker for this site in hopes it will help pay the bills. That's the only reason I saw this one

@Dr-GO said in 2019 Jazz Festivals:

Any members playing Jazz Festivals are encouraged to let us all know. If in the area, this may get our members to come out and support our TB family.

AND by coincidence, The Eddie Brookshire Quintet will be playing the Dayton Jazz Festival on Sunday, June 9th at the brand new Levitt Pavilion right in the heart of Dayton, across the street from the Dayton Convention Center and on the grounds of the Crowne Plaza. We start at 7:30 pm.

I lived in Dayton about 35 years ago; you make me wish I still lived there.

@Newell-Post said in We're off to a good start:

ROWUK in the house....

I sure hope so, and not an impersonator. I think we'll know for sure when he makes his first post

Welcome aboard, Robin. What took you so long???

An aside concerning the oTHer forum. In the past you could "view posts since last visit," open a link, and then "go back" to the list. Now if you do that, the "go back" sends you to "You cannot make another search so soon after your last; please try again in a short while." So I've gotten in the habit of right-clicking to open the links in new tabs.

It's one thing when there's room for improvement, another thing when something that worked fine before gets messed up.

@Kehaulani said in Vintage Bach Club:

Oh, I thought you said BEACH club!

Honest mistake, but you missed the part about "vintage."

It would take an entire book. A good start is This is Your Brain on Music.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Your_Brain_on_Music

Here's my solution. Parts consist of turkey baster tube, section of Polaris pool cleaner hose, plastic garden hose male coupler, brass coupler (the only part I had to buy, the rest was already on hand) and existing connection to a shower fixture attachment. The taper on the baster allows it to fit snugly in the mouthpipe of trumpets/cornets/flugel and my baritone. Since it's connected to the bathtub shower, I can power wash using hot water. I use it in between normal cleanings and also as the final step in a normal cleaning to get rid of loose stuff and ensure the Dawn is all gone.

And I take this as a chance for a rebirth. gmonady is now Dr GO.

If you include both account IDs for our beloved @administrator, Dr Go is our 100th member.

@Tobylou8 said in RIP Trumpet "Master":

The "lead" I have indicates that Rowuk is not the owner. The owner may be at TH but I haven't gotten that far. I doubt the owner would have a strong dislike for his own site. I haven't been at TH long enough to get to know anyone that wasn't already a refugee from TM. IF the owner is who I've been lead to believe it is, he is not dead, so that scenario is out. What's the screen name of the alleged "owner" at TH? I'b be interested in reading their posts.

His screen name is Gottfried Reiche. You can review his posts by clicking on the profile button, or just go here: https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/search.php?search_author=Gottfried+Reiche

He actually confesses that he was previously banned and resurrected with the new screen name.

@J-Jericho said in RIP Trumpet "Master":

Someone on anoTHer website claims to be the owner and claims to have deleted all of the information. No further explanation given. Which frustratingly leaves unanswered questions.

THat particular poster is, how shall I say it, not to be believed. It's not his real name, and in previous posts he has shown strong dislike for TM (and apparently Rowuk in particular). Read his 107 posts -- he never makes a positive contribution to any discussion. Just cynicism. Troll, IMHO.

@dupac said in Why not another thread about bigger horns ?:

I know a lot of people on this board also play alto/tenor horn, euphonium, and so on...
So do I (Yamaha alto):

Guilty as charged. Wessex BR140 Baritone. I'm even worse on it than on the small horns, but it's a lot of fun.

@Kehaulani said in Jens Lindemann about mouthpieces:

Did you google "jens lindemann mouthpiece rant" ?

Just a Google of "lindemann mouthpieces" brings up the text on several websites, plus videos of Jens discussing the same issues.
