The silver is wearing in the high trafffic locations and there is some pitting of the silver around the valve casing. The Question is do I get it re-silverplated or should I think of getting a new horn? The bach is a so-so instrument for me, but I want some change. I know that with the bach I could do heavy caps and a new lead pipe for cheaper than a new horn. If you were in my shoes what would you do? ]]> Trumpet Discussion GuitarPlayer05 http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f131/trumpet-dilemma-50711.html http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f139/im-looking-new-horn-50708.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:15:05 GMT So I have been playing trumpet for about 7 years and i have the King silver flair 2055t, I'm playing on a Bach 1 1/2c Mouthpiece. I'm looking for a new horn. I'm really into smooth nice tone, like Miles Davis. I dont like brassy tone like Maynard Ferguson. I got my tone pretty much down the way I like it but my music teacher says he thinks I'm ready for a better horn, one that gives more fullness,depth. I'm a very smooth jazz player, i don't play to brassy' unless It's necessary. I like takin' it easy on my horn...So if anyone can help me figure out what horns i should try out and start savin up for that'd be great.I dont know if this matter but i am probably going to end up having a carrer in music. thanks again ]]> Horns Bobitho http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f139/im-looking-new-horn-50708.html http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f139/yamaha-flugel-631-vs-731-a-50707.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:08:04 GMT I have been shopping for a new flugel.

I narrowed my choice to Yamaha based on multiple favorable postings on the web. Prices are reasonable.

I had difficulty deciding between the 631OZ (Shew) and the 731. The 731 has a larger bore and is discribed (by Yamaha) as being easier to play for the average trumpet player. Ive read conflicting postings on this. Some ratings have said the 631 is a better playing horn.

The 631 has a tighter bore but it comes standard with a third valve trigger and it is not substantially more $. Ultimately, I think I will be happy with the 631.

Hopefully this is the best decision.

I would apprecaite your thoughts on these two horns in the hands of a an amateur. ]]> Horns Dave1519 http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f139/yamaha-flugel-631-vs-731-a-50707.html http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f148/new-member-se-wisconsin-50706.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:50:28 GMT Hello All- Great site with good information.

Great site with good information.

I reviewed the thread about how old were you when you started and on what horn? I was amused by the number of posts from folks who did not play for years and started again.

I am in my early 40s. I started playing in the 4th grade and played in ensembles through college. Since then, I have not played much at all.

I am returning to the art. I have an old Bach I bought in about 1980. Before that I played a Conn. I am using a 7c mouthpiece and am wondering if I should switch to something else. That is perhaps another matter for a new post......

Yesterday, I ordered a new Yamaha flugel. I always wanted one. I ordered the Shew model. It has a tighter bore than the 731, so I am a bit concerned I may not like the horn. But there appear to be plently of accolades for this horn and few critical posts.

I am enjoying the site and your posts. ]]> Introductions and Greetings Dave1519 http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f148/new-member-se-wisconsin-50706.html http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/f214/wtt-hey-jude-maynard-ferguson-50705.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:24:18 GMT Howdy,

If any of you all have the Maynard Ferguson (MF Horn II) version of this song, I'd surely appreciate you lettin' me know. I've got many Maynard charts to trade with, as well as a few Buddy Rich charts. I'm willing to trade two or three of my charts in order to get this, thanks.

Email me at ImNeverNotified@gmail.com asap! I won't be replying to this topic.

Large Bore. Leadpipe and bell not printed with model, presumably standard configuration.

Overall in good condition. Plays great. Horn exhibits signs of dent removal on bell, leadpipe as it enters third valve. Silver plate wear on first, second valve case, first and third valve slides. Brace nearest to bell flare appears to not be original. Valves have very recent felt replacement (replaced with synthetics)

$1750 incl shipping in continental US. May consider trades. PM or email sickmiller at gmail dot com

It came with a 7c mouth piece the same as the one I use on my Bb. Im thinking of experimenting a bit with the mouth piece I use with it but my problem is that Im not 100% sure if the horn I have is a trumpet or a cornet. Is it the same in the Eb realm as the Bb one, where cornet and trumpet mouth pieces are different or are Eb trumpet mouth pieces and Eb cornet mouth pieces much of a muchness?

Any help you can give me to get to grips with this instrument would be greatly appreciated.

My Dear American Friends, this is your friend Prince Ndugood of Nigeria writing to thank you for your many appreciations of my emails and your much kind words. I am overjoyed with gladness to bring you the news that I have been invited to your country for a celebration of jazz and world music at the Obama White House. My village's touring band, Dark Incontinent, will be playing the jazz of music for your new president. The band is also learning the American traditional song "Hell To The Chief" , to play for the president. (I had thought that Mr. Obama was merely your president, but apparently he is a chief as well! What a truly great man!)
I will be leaving soon for your country. I am still filling out the secret service clearance form for jazz musicians (Q. Are you now or have you ever been a member of an organization the advocated the violent overthrow of diatonic harmony? Q. Have you visited the middle-east or played in the Phrygian mode during the past 12 months. Q. Do you have a license to carry a concealed animal?).
I hope that you will be able to attend the musical performance. The band will be playing many of the great presidential jazz tunes:

--This Mass Parade (inauguration theme)
--I Loves You Putin
--Kim Jong il Wind
--Ain't Misappropriatin'
--Stars Fell Upon Obama
--Impeachable You
--(Senate) Confirmation
--Goodbye Porkbarrel Hat
--I Could Write A Bill
--I Remember Clark Clifford
--My Little Vote
--Mr. P.C.
--And a couple of Nigerian jazz standards: Nancy With the Hyena Face
Tse Tse Bon
(from the album As Victoria Falls, So Falls Victoria Falls).

The band will also be performing special tunes for the President's cabinet members, such as:
Secretary of Defense: Dear Old Stockpile
Secretary of the Treasury: Mounting Greenery, When I Fall In Debt
FBI Director: I've Got You Under Surveillance
Budget Director: Just Squeeze Me
Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton): Wedding Bill Blues
EPA Director: How Deep Is the Ozone


As you can see this will be a wonderful occasion. There is only one obstacle to my appearance at the ceremony. I will need to quickly raise $132,050 for my airfare. I am sorry to have to ask you for this money but I have been a victim of the recent worldwide financial plunge, particularly the collapse of the market for sub-saharan mortgages. I have also been foolishly generous with my contributions to Nigeria's "No Primate Left Behind" educational program.
But do not fear, your contributions will be rewarded by the Obama White House with benefits for the following contribution levels:

$20,000-- You will be appointed Neuro-surgeon General.
$15,000--You will be appointed Gastro-enterologist General.
$10,000-- You will be appointed Coroner General.
$9,000-- You will be appointed Surgeon Corporal.
$8,000-- You will get to name the first family's next dog (names limited to former black US presidents and Motown singers).
$1,000-- You will receive a presidential pardon for all video store late fees.
$500-- You will have someone from NASA replace your amplifier tubes.
$200-- You will have a brick with your name on it placed in a White House toilet tank.
$100--You will have a US aircraft carrier deck skid mark named after you.
$50-- One of the gibbons at the National Zoo will wear a trucker's hat with your name on it.
$20-- Receive a set of Crayolas with all of the federal terrorist alert colors.

Finally, all donors will receive a transcript of the actual secret service agents' sleeve-cuff microphone conversations from the Obama inauguration (Samples: "Give me more of the president in the monitor"..."roll off some of the high end"..."are we on overtime yet?"..."Quick! Get me a satellite-cam view. I think the First Fly is open").

It is with the deepest sincerity that I express in advance my appreciation for your great kindness and credulity.
