Sometimes we are forced to play in tempered harmonies and melodies. This is especially true with multi-tracking. That is the only time I'd use a tuner on the fly.

Oh by the way, here is a picture of my daughters:

Are they married yet, Dad?

Nice solo. looks like a Selmer.

Used to purposely use an Eb first slide on D trumpet to get the d in the staff in tune, and kicked out the first slide a tad on other notes.

A quote I found today:

"Trumpet players fear no living persons and are only mildly respectful to most deities..."

@administrator I'm conscious of vibrato during rehearsals and practice, but in performance, I concentrate on the whole package, without focusing on the little parts.

https://www.york.ac.uk/music/conferences/nema/bethell/ is all about vibrato.

Timofei Dokshizer had an amazing sound and plenty of vibrato but at times no vibrato.

Some people have but one vibrato, and we need a wide variation, from shimmer to Harry James. Saxophonists practice vibrato in time--quarter notes, eighth, etc as to be able to control it.

I was all set to learn drums in band, and then heard "Tijuana Taxi" on the car radio. I have been a trumpet enthusiast ever since.

First trumpet for style, the others tune to and follow the first trumpet.

Ta-da!

G. Raffe, famous musician who specialized in novelty tunes.

This kind of seamless breathing is good for warmup, meditation, and before and after the downbeat.

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

B & S is one of those companies that make a "better Bach." Their rotaries aren't bad, either.

Ah, those (in)famous Kanstul valves. Bet your Getzen four-valve doesn't need oiling in the middle of a gig!
