| Derek, you mentioned in one post that folks need to stop struggling and fighting the trumpet. The trumpet needs to be allowed to ring/sing. One thing I'm finding is that each horn rings differently. How a horn rings depends on construction, materials, design..etc.
What I've found is that with the alternate fingerings for trumpet, some horns need an alternate fingering to make them really ring. I keep experimenting with this, but I find it interesting how changing from---say--open for 'G' in the staff to using 1/3 for the same note changes how the horn rings.
Have you noticed this too?
