| Welcome, Larry! Thanks for sharing your story! Also, Congrats for 17 years of discipline! Keeping your trumpet is the wisest decision that you could have made. The short term financial benefit could never fill the emotional void that only making music can bring. Now is the time to get better acquainted with the longtime "friend" that has never deserted you. And, don't forget to say, "Thanks!" to your brother for believing in you. See you around TM! Bruce |

 | Welcome! Thanks for writing your story. I'm sure many of us were nodding our heads while reading it. Stick around, and don't even think bout selling that horn. |

| Thank You All Your supportive posts are much appreciated and while the future is not clear let alone certain I am putting my plans to sell my horn on hold due in large part to your responses. I've even pulled out the mouthpiece and been buzzing it in my spare time. Soon I'll stick it into the horn and se what happens. You see I hot hit with a touch of Bell's Palsy a month ago and for those that aren't familiar with Bell's that's where one side of your facial muscles stop working. A trumpet player's nightmare to be sure but scary to anyone. At first you wonder if it's a mild stoke until you see a doctor. Then you just have to wait for it to get better. Well its gotten better but I still can't get above the staff. Hittin that E is like double high C used to be and I'm sittin here chuckling about it. But it'll come back and I'm gonna be patient. I'm grateful for all the other wonderful posts on here that show the joy in being a trumpet player. Thanks again and I'll keep in touch. |

| Glad to hear you decided to keep the trumpet and are buzzing your mpce. I feel music and ofcourse playing an instrument can have a medicinal effect on a person...if you understand what I mean. My Mother was struck with Bells Palsy last year but she is all better now...it was pretty scary for her but she stayed strong and got over it. I think just the name of it is scary sounding. Anyways hang in there and I am sure you'll be hitting it clean above the staff in no time!!!   |
