With such little detail, you'll never know without better pictures. If he only speaks Spanish and is in Texas, he's not playing a 38B. That middle trumpet clearly has 2 braces on the tuning slide and that is not a Conn characteristic on their horns, at least the vintage horns! BEWARE!!! It could be a conn job!!
I thought I saw a German sausage fly by my window, but it was only a seabird..... I think I've taken a tern for the wurst!
Since TM is still down for the count and might not come back, could a "sticky" be made on archival retrieval procedures? Someone posted on TH how to do it but I thought it would be a good idea if it was here since most of us are TM refugees and not everyone coming on board went to TH for a short vacation. There is a GOLD MINE of information there in pics alone! My IT skills are rudimentary at best. I can post videos now but I don't know if it is how others post videos!
I like escalators, but my wife likes elevators. We were just raised differently!
I liked it because I was used to it in 2009. Then they changed it a few years later. Many were upset because they had to figure things out all over again, I didn't like it either, but moved on. Doggone they did it again. I fumed, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Well some of it was broke (but I didn't use those functions, so didn't care), so a whole update was warranted. Each time it got better and better. It still had quirks, but it was much better. THe alternative is to be stuck in a format THat hasn't changed since it's inception. THat is not THe way I THink a forum should be run. THe admin has already made some improvements and processes are easier. GrowTH pains? Sure. But THe alternative is not what I THink THe majority of us want and we are THankful, VERY THankful for THe admins effort THat helps us TM refugees. We also welcome THe new members from "elsewhere"!
I always wanted to open my own pastry shop..... but I could never raise the dough!
I hated my 7C all through school, The bite was too sharp for my liking but what's a kid to do? Knowledge is readily accessible today and the choice a little less mysterious. I favor the "proportional route" and matching the rim diameter to the lips as much a possible. Smaller lips should get a smaller rim. Here a link to Storks site and his how to choose a mouthpiece section. Hope it helps. https://storkcustom.com/how-to-choose-a-mouthpiece/
I own a 1960 Super Artist and it's immaculate. It plays well and has a big sound to me. It was a students horn whose parents were well to do. Too much horn for a kid imo. It has a .468 bore but doesn't suck the life out of you. It is a little heavier than most my other Bb's but it is a fun horn to play. I haven't played it in a while and the only thing I can remember was 2nd valve sticking once in a while. I've seen them go for $2500 but that's been 10 yrs ago. It's a good horn imo. I would take that valve cover off though. Let us know what happens! BTW, outside of Clifford Brown, I don'r know who else with a big name used them.
I've looked at his post's and I think he's just not a "fan" of Rowuk. I don't think he's the owner. He boasts "major" credentials but wants to stay anonymous. Probably just an upset trollish person.
Can't have a thread like this without this classic, it just wouldn't be right!!

We can get a good sticky going for "How to Breathe."
That's from chapter 4 in "Triple C in 3 Days" correct?? 
I've begged him to join.... but alas, he has so far declined. Bob Pixley uses Dales old TM avatar now. When I see it, it reminds me of Dale.

Well, I will give you ardent GoT fans this: I am confident it is no more a waste of time tha this year's Super Bowl.
I seem to remember someone saying it's the player not the horn.

What`s the difference between a baroque trumpeter and a dressmaker?
A dressmaker tucks up frills.However, maybe if the trumpet player wasn't baroque, the trills would be fixed up!

Tell me if you heard this one:
A drummer walked past the bar...
Means the other side is nothing but brass!
@flugelgirl said in Favorite Cornet:
@Doodlin It’s probably a long shank cornet mouthpiece. Some Ambassador cornets take a very specific shank - anything else will go in pretty far. I’m trying to find one of those that isn’t too beat up or too small for me to play on just for play testing purposes, since I have had so many Olds cornets with that receiver on my bench. I would suggest taking it to your local shop - they will probably pull it for free and suggest a chem clean. Any horn with a stuck mouthpiece most certainly needs a chem clean - you don’t want to know what will probably come out of that leadpipe....
My husband and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.
We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since...
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.
My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,
'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She is a government employee.....
When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT!
