$50 +, paaaaass. Although it promises higher range!! Hmm, send me 2!!!

Yep, the Grand Staff "messes" up your second point. Here's an interesting read on solutions to the confusion the Grand Staff can cause. The solutions are clever, I think.

I've never understood folks that think you can play without air. If one could, there would be no need for breathing exercises. Now I just need to buy an artificial electric drill tongue! Might be inefficient with all the new equipment I have to learn to use.

I do want partial credit for "knowing" that that was a Shimano lure!!

There is now a lively discussion about this over THere! All I did was post the same picture. Apparently it is an issue with many other instruments as well. What I gleaned from the posts was that the ITG designated "C" as the starting point for octaves with trumpets in the 70's. So what I've learned about scales starting at A is now "wrong"? BTW, no one is really saying anyones wrong, it's just pancakes vs. flapjacks.

The top image is flapjacks, the bottom is pancakes.

@Kehaulani Someone keeps blowing life into it and it's not a breath of fresh air!

Howdy, boys (and girls). I somehow just discovered this today. I see lots of friendly avatars from 7+ years of TM-ing, including Vulgano Brother, who is neither Vulgano, nor my brother, but we can still love him for who he is and the work he does. I see TobyLou notified pretty much everyone else but me 6 months ago. No hard feelings though, Toby. You should see Guido sometime after 11:00 this evening.

Dang, this feels like coming home.

A few quick questions: How can I improve my range in 3 easy steps, but only practicing 5 minutes a day? Is double high C the one below the staff? Miles Davis or Freddie Hubbard? Is there balm in Gilead? Where does Rowuk hide his secret collection of P.E.T.E.s? Here's a video of me playing a song I've never practiced before, can you please critique? Is Kenny G still considered the best jazz artist of all time? Oh, and where's the Argument Clinic?

Controversial opinion of the day: Game of Thrones is dumb - change my mind.

Put away your pitchforks; that was a joke.

Alright, I'm here. Let the loud screaming sword fight begin!

NO NO NO!!!!!! I informed EVERYONE, especially you!! I'm ready for Guido, tell him not to bring a knife!

@barliman2001 said in Is Air Needed To Play The Trumpet:

Air is needed to play trumpet - as I just found out when a spitball got stuck.

Next time visualize hitting the conductor on the nose and use a huge Phoooowwwwwww!!!

@Kehaulani said in I played a D# !!:

I'm asking about the OP. Thad Mel had some awesome blowers.

It's a Nestico chart called Color Me Warm, and the 3rd part has a lick that starts on G above the staff, going to D, then D#. For 4 years I've played that down an octave, but a few weeks ago tried and found I was on the notes. I certainly don't "command" anything above B. But reaching for, and finding these notes, is to me kind of like cracking the lid on a jar, and it is getting easier, less of a squeak.

En realidad, si actualizo la página, ¡aparece una opción para traducir! Ah los milagros de internet. ¡No hay necesidad de construir eso en TBoard!

@Vulgano-Brother said in Increase high range by 4 notes in 6 weeks?:

Bill Chase used to use long-tones to increase range.

The answer, once again, is long-tones!

Dale Proctor would know!!

Really enjoy Carl.

@Niner said in The hammered bell:

@FranklinD That's interesting. It's not a dead proposition. The main things the bell shaft dings are claimed to produce are:

Improved sonority: more warmth, more substance, fuller tonal sound
Improved balance of sound: enhancement of wanted, and reduction of unwanted frequencies
Improved projection: more power and better carrying capacity of the sound
Reduced blowing resistance: improved and easier responsiveness, therefore improved slotting

That's it? Hmm.

@Kehaulani said in Scream Machine by Maynard Ferguson... Wow!!:

After the first couple of licks, I really questioned whether or not this was Maynard. Thanks for the info. This is Maynard:

WOW!! That 1st tune... the cat could play!!!
