You completely missed my point. Two of the most outstanding trumpet players of the 20th century did NOT play screaming double Ds.
In Wynton's case he did not even own that Bach/Schilke Eb trumpet. He had been in NYC for only a month or two. He was Wynton Who
He was barely out of high school.
My point is that great trumpet players do just that.....they play great trumpet.
Without playing one note above a high c, I knew that 14 year old, Sergei Nakariakov was a one of a kind trumpet artist.
Far too much time is spent trying to play the upper reaches of the trumpet.
High notes don't impress me, music does.
