Hmm, couldn't find the fingerings on the Baroque Trumpet shop.

I can get most of The Trumpet Shall Sound from Messiah, which REALLY sounds neat of these horns, let me tell you. I can definitely see why the Baroque trumpet community gets REALLY touchy when people make assumptions about these era pieces sounding better on piccs.


I also notice a difference already in my playing. Mainly in the mouthpiece. I have two pieces with the two nats I borrowed. One is more modern-look, and the other is an authentic flat-rim.

After spending the morning and afternoon on these nats, playing on my 5C and 5B felt strange. The rim was huge, thick feeling. Also, my lips missed the feel of silver and gold (the nat pieces are raw, yuck!).

The sound seemed more broad, but maybe thats just me and hearing that "olde-tyme" sound in my head.
