I remember a post on the old TM about a father(?) that had corks repaired for his kid. The bill was around $25 +/-. Most of the cost was for "mute tuning". Insert, play, tune, etc., until it was in tune. I've never done this but can see the validity. I've just always lipped the notes or pulled the slide for longer passages. I have a copper Harmon that is incredibly sharp so I've learned where to place the slide when it's used. I just have to remember to push it back in!!!

I bought a bunch of horns trying to find "the one" since I had been playing my Getzen 900H since Jr. high school. There were many that were close, including a first run Severinsen that is a very fine player and a Holton ST-302 that has a big sound but just isn't quite there for me. I've even played a high dollar horn, it was nice, but that's all. The "one" that supplanted my 900H was another 900H only in large bore. If you can make an offer with a price that is more to your liking, I'd go for it. You can't have too many horns and it is nice to pull them out for others to play and watch them drool!

I've played in Church bands so long now that sharps don't even register. Leader of the group got on a B minor jag for a while! I told the arranger of our charts that C# didn't bother me at all anymore. He started writing in Db!! LOL

Might be $100 worth of metal.... Idk.

@Kehaulani said in Hakan Hardenberger Playing Hora Staccato on Cornet:

This is a very nice interpretation.

The first trumpet transcription I heard was by Mendez. More in your face. This Hakan version is very nice and smooth by comparison..

Mendez:

I'm outta breath...... phew!

Dr. Go, you know these dudes? Dayton is the "Land of Funk"!!!

There's a little horn, sorry!

A King and a Prince in this one!!!!

Reading the posts on here made me think of flipping through vinyl at the mall when I was a kid. Harmony Hut was the bomb and had the Top 40 45's in their own section! It was right next to the door. So while I'm looking at Parliament's "Flashlight" etc., this is blaring in the background! Enjoy!
