If Bill Chase had one of those, what would he do?

Oh man - you would only be limited in sound by whatever you could sample in. I watched all four videos and I'm stunned and impressed. While it does sound somewhat sterile at times, it's the best wind actuated midi controller I have ever seen.

Fantastic!!! I wanty I wanty!!

but do you buzz or not? I haven't quite figured it out yet!

Great... a "trumpet" that sounds like a saxophone.

Why bother making it look like a trumpet. I'd be less offended if it didn't have the look of a trumpet and more like what it is: a spectacularly well-crafted digital sampling device. It could have looked like anything had he wanted it to.

I'm afraid I won't be on the ordering list. Nice toy, though.

Manny, you don't have to be on the ordering list because you can do far more than that thing can - it's cool and applied the right way, might be a great tool, but there is no replacing real, acoustic instruments.

I could see using one for the rock band though. I could "scream" altissimo stuff all night long with that, but it wouldn't be my sound and it would take the fun out of trying.

Rick Chartrand · 10-03-2005, 12:29 PM

Hey Manny

Why be offended manny? The whole point to this instrument is to give a trumpet player the abillity to sound like any instrument on earth, and when recording to be an entire orchestra by yourself. If it wasnt shaped like a trumpet then trumpet players wouldnt bother with it. The whole point of it being shaped like a trumpet it to get trumpet players into the digital age. We no longer have to be envious of keyboards with midi interfaces

. Thats very economical not to mention what you could do with an instrument like this in a Jazz bar setting. Miles was into new stuff, He's have LOVED this. It will never take the place of an acoustic trumpet, but was designed rather to augment a traditional trumpet players repitoire with deversifacation. I'm getting one...its to cool not to have one. Wait till they get a load of me in my Jazz clubs I play in!

I showed this to my wife and she's blown away, and generally she's not impressed by new trumpet designs.

Nope, no need to buzz, although I suppose you could if you wanted to - I believe that the mouthpiece it comes with could be used in a real trumpet.

Think i,ll pass on that one.
Nothing beat,s natrual raw skill.
Why do u suppose some one wanted to make that thing?
plain and simple there are no short-cuts.
Fake trumpets fake hair...same thing.
Hey just keeping it real.

It,s not smigity-smack, it,s wigityWac!
peace and hair grease!

I am a real gadget geek and really like to play with toys and fun little stuff like that. I can't play piano worth a damn, so why not play all the same sound effects but on the instrument ("instrument") that I play on. No way will this ever replace the ol' accoustic one, but I am sure they are not trying to replace it. If I had the money, I would certainly get one.

On the other hand, as soon as someone gets this, I can see that the motivation to practice it might overwhelm practicing the real thing for a short (or extended) period of time. But I guess that would be up to them.

sure they could have made it look like anything but there is already a woodwind style one sponserd by yamaha. I support what they are trying to do.
