Gosh, she looks like she is 14. Some people have all the talent, though.
I believe she was an old lady of 20 for that performance. But you can find her on Youtube at 14 and even younger. Joan Chamorro runs a great program in Barcelona.
@Kehaulani said in King Liberty:
Diverting. I'm addressing the "why" question, which was posted by the post's originator.
Sorry, I don't see a "why" in the OP. And I thought he was referring to the "Instruments Discussion/Historical and Collector's Items" forum, not TrumpetBoards in general.
@Kehaulani said in King Liberty:
This post is, for me, exactly why this "new forum isn't exactly taking off" - jokes and gear . . and pretty pictures.
If people want a lounge type format, that's fine. I'm just making a contrast. Where's the music? I want to learn and discuss things about music, not peripheral stuff.
I recently got frustrated and decided to just go back to Sax on the Web. It has it's fair share of equipment stuff, too, but it's also balanced with more meaty musical topics, and it applies to music, in general, not just sax players.
Well, this post is in the "Instruments Discussion/Historical & Collector's Items" forum, so it seems totally appropriate. Certainly not "Lounge" material. I would expect to find the music in the "Music Discussion" forum.
@N1684T said in How about a forum for Curio and Relic horns?:
I can't believe no one ripped me for watching such a cheesy movie;)
On the contrary. My recent retirement has provided me the time to make up for having missed out on a great deal of culture. I watched Buckaroo Banzai for the first time yesterday. Loved every minute of it 
@Kehaulani said in How do you feel about vibrato?:
Well, I don't believe there is. There must be historical commentaries on vibrato performance practices of their time. Assumingly, no one on this board knows about them. That ignorance (not meant condescendenly, I don't know, either) does not trump historical sources and research.

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.

Wichita Band Instrument Co. http://www.wichitaband.com/

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

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.

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.
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.
