Hey there guys...

Its been a while since I've been to TM but I noticed this subject and I wanted to ask a question...

I really love to play trumpet... well as a beginner still... I love to play but one day I will REALLY love it even more when it starts to sound good

Okay... I'm teaching myself right now and I finally decided to get another mouth piece. I had my original Bach 7C. I've been talking to a Jazz trumpeter in Oakland CA who said that I could try a 3C to see if playing is easier. So far I have to say its like night and day. Now I'm trying to sight read and hear correct tones at the same time and it seems like the are coming together much easier than with the 7C. The 7C requires more pressure and a higher pitch comes out... where the 3C seems to allow me to learn the tone without getting tired so fast and the tone is more ... well stabble for lack of better terms...

What want to know is this a fair assesment ? ---
Also... how much of basic / beginer music is played in which register ?
and is the C ( below the bottom line ) through the C ( of FACE) considered 1 register ?

John
