Explore the blues scale.

RE: Favorite Cornet
I usually don't play cornet, but when I do it is my old Holton with a period mouthpiece.

RE: A little humour
Did you hear about the music director that survived a lightning strike?
He was a poor conductor.

RE: A little humour
How I earned my way through college. On C trumpet.
Our sax player was from Mississippi, and it took around six months to understand his talk.

I bought a Christmas tree today. The salesman asked if I was putting it up myself. I said, "No, in the living room."

I am a great Bible expert and even know the name of Noah's wife. It was Joan. Joan of Arc.

RE: Which trumpet to buy?
Try a bunch of horns (including those not on your list) and let the right one find you.

RE: My bad D
I tried the Monette leadpipe again. It is about one receiver longer than the Bach, and it fixes the g nicely. Time to cultivate a local American tech to put it on. It will change brace placement for sure. (I had the braces removed Spada does [without the fine tuning] previously.)
As for slide shape, I don't like the edge that comes with the Bach D core. It just sits there and buzzes and there isn't too much ability to color it. Haven't experienced ovate slides on my D yet, but I find my round one gives me a warm, highly compact C sound that I like, kind of like a mythical Gil Johnson D sound. Thinking of moving the bell brace up a bit for more feedback.
Isn't playing with horns fun?
(That's another way of saying "Why didn't it work right out of the factory?")
Playing horns is even more fun, so please excuse me while I practice.

My bad D
My D trumpet. Elkhart Bach, 236 bell. Tuning slide by Matthias Beck. over-under first valve slide with ring., shortened third slide, and brace removal by Norbert Böpple, and a couple of gadgets from Ivan Hunter--his adjustable tuning slide brace lets me switch from brighter to darker, and he's got some sort of dampeners for between the valves that seems to improve slotting.
It has a glorious sound and a fine blow, but the G in the staff is so flat that it has to be played 1-3. I don't like that. I have an old Monette leadpipe that I haven't soldered on yet, and the G is still flat. No matter the mouthpiece, the G is flat.
Anyone else have this problem with their D180?
Anyone know how to fix it? -
RE: What are you listening to?
@dr-go Need dirty contacts to pull Green Eyed Lady off. You can pull it off because you can count me as a dirty contact.
