OK I just have to crow about this somewhere..... I picked up for a friend, a really nice Yamaha "trigger" Bb-F trombone, kinda a semi-pro horn, with *his* $150 today. It's a thing of wonder and beauty, and since it has no valves, there are no valves for him to stuff Marvel Mystery Oil into. He sounds a lot less shitty on it than on the cornet, and well, this is all VERY COOL!!

I also picked up a nice 1940 King American Standard cornet for myself for $75, since I am kind of curious about the cornet and I won't play my frined's, it's kind of stinky and the valves are slow.

OK I'm going to say it - w00t!

Let me guess, the Yamaha is a 356 with a Rose brass bell right ?
I saw that bone at that Pawn shop on Sheldon myself, and was tempted. Congrats on the Cornet !

Toobz damn, you're local?

I was considering buying it for myself, just to have it, it's a thing of beauty and wonder. But, well, I'm too soft-hearted and I'd rather spend someone else's money.

Hey if you're by there, ask the guy to demonstrate those low-power .22 shells he has - his phone book needs another hole or two!

Hey I have to be in town again on the 25th, you wanna meet up at cuppers coffee shop or somewhere? I'll be pretty much free from noon on.

Toobz

Playing with guns , I'm in ! As for the cup o joe, give me a shout sometime next week. I have to head to Scottsdale in the A.M. on the 25th. I will be back later in the afternoon, but I don't have an idea of when just yet.

OK here's the plan: I have to go to an appointment at 10AM, I'll be done by noon, I like to hang at Cuppers coffee house on cortez, you know the place right? By the Hotel Vendome? So we could meet at 2 or something, if you want. I could bring my laptop so I can check in on this site, they have free wifi at Cuppers. I could bring my horn, man I can rock that Twinkle Twinkle lol.

Toobz

Sounds good. I'll do what I can to make it.

Eeviac

OK works for me. BTW Cuppers is supposed to have an open mic when the weather gets warm, of course that won't be for something like a month and a half!

I wish I lived in town, I certainly can't swing it now, but I might consider renting a room and being in town for the weekends, again when the weather gets warm. There's so much stuff going on, jams and open mics and stuff.

I, too, enjoy the low powered .22 bullets. Almost no noise shot out of a tight Browning camper. I have not tried them in my biathalon rifle. I wouldn't want to get a bullet stuck in the barrel.

Eeviac

Mmmmmm biathlon rifle, that would be cool to have .... anything Anschutz actually!

I don't think you'd stick one, they come out nice and fast - the bullet is pretty light, lighter than any normal .22LR.

Makes about as much sound as my Awesome RWS 45 pellet gun hehe.
