 | Hello everyone from Canada Good morning/afternoon/evening, To be exact I live in L'Ange Gardien Quebec (not a seperatist)  Canada. 30 minutes north of Ottawa. I've been playing trumpet for 2 years now, at the age of 39. Still taking trumpet lessons from a very good retired school teacher. My main interest in music is Jazz and Classical. Miles Davis, Chick Corea (which I will go see in concert this Wednesday) Actually any Fusion Jazz! Classical= Gustav Mahler all the way!  As far as equipment...well I play a Conn Director, but maybe early next year I will shop around for a good quality (Pro) trumpet. My list includes Conn Vintage One, Schilke (not sure which model), Getzen, Lawler and Kanstul. So far I tried a Vintage One and a Bach Stad. Personal favorite is the Vintage One. I still have lots of trumpets to try and still lots of time to decide. But I definitely want to try a Lawler. You might find me a bit strange but I prefer dealing with the smaller companies rather than the Big Boys (Conn-Selmer, Yamaha). One day all of the trumpets will be outsource to Asian countries, with the large companies that is. I think I will pay myself a visit down to NJ (Dillon Music Store) to try all the trumpets I can get my hands on. I only heard good things about Lawler. hint hint hint.I'm open to any suggestions from you guys about new trumpets. Love to hear from you guys. Thank you Marc |

I have a question for you, since you are a GR dealer. One thing that I have a problem with is MOUTHPIECE!!!  This is the most confusion thing about trumpet playing. I started with a Bach 7C, then a 5C. My teacher made me try a few different ones including the CKB 1 1/2C which I'm using right now. I find this mouthpiece comfortable, but I have no endurance. My teacher is telling me to have patience, endurance come with time. Now, is my teacher right? Should I try a 'smaller' mouthpiece? Not sure where to start  Marc | |

| Hi Marc, welcome. You can tell from my 'name' where I'm from! If you are interested in a mouthpiece I'd suggest you go the the GR site http://www.grmouthpieces.com/ fill out their questionnaire and send it to Brian Scriver, he is the GR Marketing guy and lives just North of Toronto. He can help you! Look for an Olds trumpet, like a Recording, Mendex or Super. Great horns for, normally, and excellent price! |
