My favorite now is my Münkwitz natural trumpet in D, NEVER any blend issues regardless of the bass. Second favorite is my Enders rotary G trumpet with a gold brass D trumpet bell. No white rays of light coming out of the bell.........

When I think about raising the dead, the picc is the last instrument that comes to my mind, except maybe for cutting open the cast.....................

The audience could care less - they just want a convincing performance!

Smaller chamber orchestras use a different text:
The trumpet shall sound, and we wish he was dead.

I will be doing the Messiah this weekend, not the whole thing. I will be on three movements and I have chosen the picc as my weapon. I have done it on D trumpet as well, but I just dont feel like transposing

This is a community group of musicians, so I have a feeling the second guy will show up wih a Bb or maybe a C horn, so we will see. I guess I could always put in a little mouthpiece and do it on Bb................(JUST KIDDING)

Have a hip holiday!!

Do the movements have to done on a picc? I'm playing Hallelujah, and I probably going to play it on a Bb Trumpet...(I'm only in highschool!)

You can knock the snot out of it on a Bb.

Good Luck and Play Well

Bb will be fine. The old school trumpeters played everything on Bb, and thought only wimps pulled out the tiny trumpets. I, however, am a wimp, and old too.

Wimps dont play small trumpets.......................just guys who have to justify buying to many trumpets play small trumpets.as often as they can

I haven't done a Messiah in years, but when I did, I did it on A picc.

I'm with Ed Carroll. I don't have a G at this time, but I used to help build them and played a bunch. A G1L will give you the fat of a D with the security of a pic.
