With stainless steel, is it the valve itself that gets broken in, or the casing?

RE: The difference in timbre caused by using additional valves
We can hear the timbre changes if we cup one ear and play a scale.

RE: How many is too many?
@dr-go I used to have eleven trumpets. Now I'm down to seven. Needed to sell four to afford the prescriptions you wrote me under a bridge away from cameras.
Well worth it.

RE: AR Resonance Mouthpieces
@barliman2001 said in [AR Resonance Mouthpieces]
"And if you want to play around on a mouthpiece safari first, go for the Arnolds & Sons range, sometimes marketed as Stoelzel. They are reliable copies of Bach favourites at incredibly low prices..."Better made than some Bachs in the '90s. Using these mouthpieces allow us to try all kinds of modifications cheaply. Throat sizes (drill bit and a vice) can be easily enlarged, as well as the backbore (fingernail files for reamers).
A fun project is to match the popping frequency of the backbore to the cup, filing off the end of the shank until they match--then machine a Morse taper to the appropriate end diameter.
Adds zing to the response.

RE: I Just Saw This on Classic FM
Better than any Super Bowl rendition in recent years.

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

RE: Artist on BOARD
@dr-go Yes, let's have paintings for all the Superbowl losers over the years.

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? -

@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.
