The Trumpet has already been done (many years ago and again very recently).

Read my article at http://www.brass-forum.co.uk/Article...yingRobots.htm

and then watch the video at http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/special/robot/

Annoyingly, you can't here the music as they had to remove it from the video for copyright reasons, but it really did play!.

Use youtube and google video just searching "toyota trumpet".

This is very interesting. Reminds me of when I was in high school. I had won a summer scholarship to Bucknell University on a special government arts program in PA called Governers School of the Arts. Anyway, we were in 10th and 11th grade and I was there studying trumpet for the summer. One day, after a brutal day of rehearsals, our instructors took us on a walking field trip over to the university computer lab...say what? Now mind you this would have been around 1978 or so and computers were really in their infancy still. So, we walk into this computer lab with machines that took up an entire room and we see these guys running around in white lab coats like out of one of those B grade scifi movies on Sat. afternoon. The head geek lines all us orchestral players up in front of this monsterous machine with wires like from and old phone switch board and tape wheels and all manner of lights etc, and says: (I am not making this up ha) "BEHOLD THE FUTURE"! He puts in some card looking thing with little holes punched out of it and the computer starts churning and sputtering and after a minute or two the "computer" plays a simple arpeggiated chord. The Head Geek whirls around and with this sinister grin on his face says; "By the time you are all seniors in College computers will have replaced you as musicians."

Well, there has been a lot of cool technology in computer generated music over the years but I am still putting food on the table being a real musician!

And if there should ever be a robot that shows up to try and steal your job someday... just empty your spit valve down their pants and short 'em out haaaaaa.

I want to hear the solo when you give the computer the chord changes and it invents the solo

I think I could do a fair impression of that, since my improv stinks.

Just like with chess computers, if it is programmed right, it can get scary. It depends how many talented traitors sell out to the programmers...............
I did an expeiment once gluing a speaker to a mouthpiece. The results were not that bad. It also changed my opinion about the amount of air required to get the job done.

click on research - there is a bunch of good info here

Cut the URL, http://iwk.mdw.ac.at and go to http://babel.altavista.com/tr?

Then paste it onto the site where it says "Translate a web page"

You must get rid of the extra http://.

Click from German to English in the drop down menu.

There you have it.
