Hi all

One more thing,

The major point of this thread is not about an " extreme " range, but range in general.

Again, range is a subjective term. At certain points in a player's development , the tern " range " means different things. But I wanted to stay in the useble range area.

Many really fine players never explored the extreme register of the instrument, both commercial and classical (Although, I heard Rob Roy McGreggor of the Los Angeles Phil do a warm-up extending to Double C keeping that same beautiful sound all the way up and down) and have been quite happy and successful.

So , has a different brand/model trumpet allowed you to get over a hurdle without hours of practice and frustration just by it's design and engineering?
