The most annoying fingering ...

So, what's your most hated fingering on the trumpet (or on any other horn)?

Imho it's the low C#. I've been hating it from the start and I still do and probably always will.

Re: The most annoying fingering ...

Rapidly slurring from low B to low C# and back again for any period of time - it's a co-ordination issue.

Re: The most annoying fingering ...

Low C, G, Middle C, E, G, High C, G, E, Double C

IMHO open fingerings are the worst, they are for lazy people with slow fat fingers.

So.... do you avoid open fingerings? Perhaps use alternate fingerings instead?
Just trying to figure out why you say open fingerings are the worst.
Would you really refer to all valves open as a true fingering since you're not using any fingers?

Re: The most annoying fingering ...

I try to alternate between almost pushing down valves for those notes and not

I also don't like Db very much

Re: The most annoying fingering ...

Oh okay. I wasn't trying to be offensive Max, I was just curious.
I have noticed that Doc Severinsen uses alternate fingerings very often.

Re: The most annoying fingering ...

Well I hate the low C# too...

And you shouldn't get too comfortable with alternate fingering, playing open notes is also an essential (IMHO) skill for playing the trumpet...

psst!! Db is C#
