Well, I'm not in the symphony..... . Isn't it ironic that the last 5 letters of symphony are.... oh never mind.

Reminds me of my Blessing marching trombone, just a little bit bigger!

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.

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.

@A-N-A-Mendez No-Toby and I had a dialog about a post but it was civil and ended well, and we're both on here now

I think it was just a coincidence. It had been down a few months earlier. What is curious is no one is willing to divulge who the owner is/was. Very early posts at TM suggest that the owner is known by more than just their screen name. Not that it matters, it's just a point of curiosity now.

I may "know" who the owner is!

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.

Minor thing but okay, if one is grooving to an embedded YT video and a post is made to that particular thread, the video stops.

Thanks for the replies. I find it fascinating when learning about the different acoustical properties of musical instruments.

One of my favorites. We didn't get the words as kids, just thought is was a funny song with great horns and guitar!! LOL

@Kehaulani I "right click" on the video and a menu pops up. I click "Copy Video url", then just paste.

And now it won't work and I just did it!! Weird!

Rock & Roll with horns (that was the topic, right)? Electric Flag, album: A Long Time Comin'.

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.

A lot of confusion as to what a "Dubba" C is for many. I find this coming mostly from the orchestral side of the aisle. It's what I was taught and seems to be a common thought with some at THe oTHer site. I'll post this picture even though it is small. It's from Clyde Hunt's Sailing the 7 C's. The C's range from C1 to C7 on the trumpet with C1 and C7 being the most difficult, and also the least useful. C2 and C6 (HOLY GRAIL DOUBLE C!!!) are also pretty useless too. I know that's sacrilege in the jazz/DCI/Big band world, but realistically, very few can play those notes musically on a consistent basis. Not that it can't be a goal, but unless you're the top 1% of the 1% of the 1%, you're unlikely to ever use it. I'm still gonna work on C6 though!!!
Anyway, here's the image and if a computer guru can resize it and make it "cleaner", that would be great! Here's what I posted over THere. One guy over there boasted of a "double" G. Maynard could play a double G, but I don't know if he ever did it for a tune!

Yeah, I saw that and it dovetailed from another thread on what dubba C was. The OP even suggested his range go to quad C!! I just chuckled. The "C"s range from C1-C7 and that's all for the trumpet. Very few have EVER hit C7 and this guy was suggesting C8!!! If you learned that "high" C is dubba "C", you were taught wrong. It's sounds impressive, until you have to play it. High C is C5, dubba C ic C6. You can call C5 a quint C, but it's still C5.
