Hi guys. Thanks Rogerio for letting me know about this forum. It's great to see so many folks interested in the Baroque trumpet.

Having been a professional baroque trumpet player and teacher for the past 20 or so years. I can truly say that playing the natural trumpet helps all aspects of modern playing. My students range in age from 14 to post graduate and they all play modern and baroque trumpets. They play traditional flat rimmed mouthpieces on the natural instruments and their modern mouthpiece on valved trumpets. Since they do this from day one, they have no problems switching as long as the rim diameter is similar.
