Hello everyone, I've been lurking around the forums for a while and decided to join. There is a wealth of knowledge here, and a friendly atmosphere. I am a "come back" player. I played in high school and college, but got burned out. I had reached a "plateau" and struggled to get better but it just didn't happen. I put the horn down and haven't touched it in about 7 years. To make a long story short, I'm back and want to learn, grow, and have fun. I'm currently playing a Getzen Eterna Severinsen model (serial # indicates it was made around 1974), using a Schilke 14 mouthpiece. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
Welcome aboard! You're going to love it here because the folks are nice and there is a ton of good info.
Come on In!!! also, better get yourself an Arbans unless you already have it because you are going to hear it mentioned alot when you ask for advice to improve your playing
