| Antique and archaic brasswinds
As usual, you hit the nail squarly on it's head, Wilmer. The subject publication is a treasure trove of information, BUT, it doesn't go quite far enough. What I personally have a great interest in is trumpets and cornets made from 1920-now. I want their specs, materials, any evaluations of them ,etc. Not bad for an old guy that still wants,huh?
One of the subjects that plagues me is the question of who made the first true valved trumpet,( not a long shaped cornet which has conicality except for the tuning slides.) I am talking about a TRUE trumpet, a very brilliant toned instrument that all of the tubing other than the belltube is step-cylindrical. There are a gazillion questions that are ratteling about in my ancient skull that I want to find answers to before I am gone.
