...Also, employment, or lack thereof, does not imply competency.Which is why I relate to my patients that are on my critical care service: "I know CPR and 23 other letters of the alphabet".

@Shifty said in Jens Lindemann about mouthpieces:
Extremely small, shallow mouthpieces simply do not resonate that well in a section. They may have good 'cutting' projection but try playing softly with a good attack...very risky. Of course, if you never have to play softly with a good sound then you should consider yourself a true specialist...go for it!
I had thought this to be true at one time. I noticed this "characteristic" with my Jettone Studio B.
HOWEVER: Fast forward to 2017 with the innovative 5 mm system created by Jason Harrelson. He made an EXACT copy of the Studio B rim and cup, but combined this with a novel throat that TOTALLY blends the cutting effect with the smooth air flow I have when playing softly and quietly on my VPS Summit. IN FACT, of all the horns I currently own, I can play the softest with the most control of pitch and sound quality on this 5 mm Jettone copy.
What Jens leaves out, is the characteristics of the backside of the mouthpiece can add so much to the performance. The 5 mm concept allows you to adjust for this.
@J-Jericho said in Links open in a new tab?:
I found the same annoyance. I would then right-click on the link and select "Open link in new tab." It'll be nice not to have to do that; it's so tiring having to press two mouse buttons instead of just one, plus the loss of time, not to mention the mental exhaustion involved.
YES!!!!! Thank You!

Funny how no one is shaming fat old men in speedos.......
Really, though - what’s the problem with old ladies with tattoos? I intend to be one eventually, and feel zero shame about it.
Here's some fat shaming of dudes. They probably don't think they're fat!
I play what is comfortable and I've learned to blend. No one asks what I play, just how well I do.

Notre-Dame de Paris...brought to you by Microsoft.
I was thinking Uber, or maybe something more temporal.
Uber welcomes you to Amazon Prime Notre Dame Cathedral presented by Guardians Of The Galaxy III. You're in good hands.
Ugh...goodness gracious. There is a NBA arena in a city near where I live, and its name has changed 3 or 4 times in recent history. It loses sponsors, they change their names, etc. I'm really not sure if our founding fathers intended capitalism to become the hyper-corporatism is has turned into.
It's just advertising. I like NASCAR. Sometimes it's a great way to cure insomnia!! Winners used to just say, "The car ran really good today and the crew did a great job". NOW, "The Lowes Dupont Bass Tracker Home Depot Minute Made Skoal Bandit Chevrolet running on Goodyear Eagle racing GT's with rubber supplied by Office Max rubber bands and changed by the Google Microsoft Apple pit crew wearing shoes from Nike ran well today"! My wife and I just laugh!

It's just a tweek thing I hope. But as more folks join and more links are posted to other information, I've noticed the link does not open in another tab, but in the same tab replacing the TB page. Can't tell you how many times I've closed a tab once finished and wondered, "Where'd my TB page go"??? I don't know how easy that is to fix, but it would be nice if it worked that way, at least for me. Thanks!

Uh, dudes, my double entendre is still flying overhead. I know the grammatical difference. That was a joke.

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!

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
I would give you a like on this but I don't know if I could stand all the S^&t I might take!

English is an inconsistent language, just ask a non-English speaker, trying the learn it. Getting frustrated over it is a waste of time.
To, too. two true! It can be so, sew annoying! 
It looks to be a "googled" cut & paste article with some videos put in for show. Doc not on the list? HAHAHA! Formable... , I just chuckled. The "writer" also doesn't know writing, let alone jazz. Erik Truffaz????? One modest run and a host of clams doesn't make one a jazz player. Oh wait, it's "avant garde" so I don't get it so I've been told.
Arve Henriksen top 50? Must be "avant garde" too. Oh well, I guess Doc didn't/doesn't play the right kind of jazz. Maybe if he'd been taught better in his formable years, he'd been a more formidable jazz force.
I have 2 black cornet pieces and they work just fine. I used one tonight to "play" a buddies Kanstul Piccolo. He had the A pipe in it. I was lost, but the mpc was okay. He said I did well to even make a sound having never played one. Fingerings were all screwed up and the 4th valve was "in the way"!! It was weird for sure.
