 Testing out a new horn
Ok, I've searched this forum and haven't found quite what I'm looking for.
I'm posting this hoping it may help others out there as well.
I'm trying to find some pointers on how to test out a new horn in optimal conditions - i.e. a room, or better yet performance venue with no one else but maybe a knowledgable trumpet player to listen.
Should you warm up on your current horn? If so, how much?
Should you switch back and forth from your current horn to the new horn on different types of testing, or would this be detrimental?
What types of things would you play to test out the new horn?
* To test for slotting
* To test the tone quality
* To test the intonation
* To test the resistance
If the horn is of a drastically different design than your current set up, what things should you consider when testing it out?
Cheers,
