Great content. I have a Courtois Evo I with a gap adjustment "mechanism", it's genius, so simple a yet it allows you to try infinite settings.

Hello, I’m from Vietnam. I am learning high school. I’m using rudy muck 13C mouthpiece. I want to be lotus mouthpiece, which the type of this size similarly. Can you help me.

wow jam-packed with so many valuable insights. This was a great interview.

really want to learn that craft. is he teach to?

Back in my day - we had the 3c, the 7c, and a weird 5c - thats it!

Idk Monettes have a big gap and they sound pretty huge

Awesome video

Great information. May have to travel to Wisconsin for an appointment.

It is alll individual. It is like shoes. Not too big not to small

Mouth pieces are like fingerprints. No two are alike , just like Trumpets. Everybody's mouth and dental structure , teeth alignment are also like fingerprints all different. You must experiment to find what is just right. The right combination. I have played on 4 mouthpieces in 63 years of playing. Started on a Bach 3C . Evolved to the 1 and quarter and now on a 1 1/2 . Learn to play softly and correctly, establish the low registers and build from there. On the other hand , I watched my friend Mark Gould play the Hummel flawlessly on several mouthpieces he was trying out during rehearsals. I am convinced Doc could play great on a tin can with a kazoo for a mouthpiece. There is no finite solution. It's all individual.

I am really passionate about learning how to play. Re recently got one for myself.. I will need help.

I bought a trumpet 2 months ago. I have not had lessons. I have tried doing this buzzing but it doesn’t work for me. I get so frustrated trying to do buzzing that I want to throw my trumpet against the wall. Any suggestions would help. Thank you.

My fist time playing jazz trumpet

Hello

That's awesome

I just picked up a cornet at the age of 32. I played French horn from 5th grade til junior year of high school and loved playing but my school made me stop playing in band because of my grades… I picked up this Old’s Ambassador cornet from 1958 and it has great compression.. so excited to learn to play this instrument, thank you!

Hi Chris, great explanation! that 1st lick on the Cornet, I recognize the sound but can't quite place it ... please share the name of the tune? Love your playing by the way ... inspired now to pick up a Cornet, cheers!

This is great for my next practise session and beyond. Thank you so much for sharing this. 🎺

Excellent!!! Thank you for this!

So lucky to find this video. I'm learning to improvise on Autumn Leaves, and this was so useful. Thanks so much for sharing.

I’m a month after this live stream you had. I watched another video. Then another and now this one. By the time I finished the second one I felt you had to be a brother in Christ. Then you broke out the Scripture. 👍👍👍👍👍 While I have been listening and someone made “yet” comment. Gulp…I played in high school. In college I played until our band needed more other instruments than me on cornet since I wasn’t a music major. So I got moved to French horn…which I also enjoyed. I played for a number of years at church. Now I’m 74 and haven’t picked up an instrument in over two decades. The other day I got the itch to pick up my cornet. I expected to have to build endurance but I feel as if I’ve never played before. I don’t know how to even begin. Watched some videos but haven’t “yet” got any kind of tone. Thanks for you being the you that God wants you to be.

Howdy

I'm a beginner Trumpet student and the hardest part for me is slurring the notes 😖

Thank you Chris

Two different worlds. I sort of like both. They do NOT sound like the same size or cup depth. The darker sounding one (Lotus) sounds like you are more familiar with it. I do see you raising your shoulders when playing high - that is poison for the Monette pitch Center.

Thank you! I appreciate too much your information! Bravo!

dawg thx this actually worked

Thanks

👍👍👍👍👍💛💙🙏

Great!

Thanks for the tutorial! As someone who's never even touched a trumpet, this was really helpful for figuring out how to properly use my war horn!

I prefer Monette, I guess sounds better!

I really liked that you included the cornet in the comparison (usually videos just include the other two) and that you played the same phrases on both instruments to give us a good sound comparison!

I need the fingering chart pls

Hi, Chris! I’m enjoying your lessons. I’m a saxophone player, pro for 30 years. I’m self-taught, and I’ve always played by ear rather than analysis, but obviously there are some tunes that are a little difficult to do that with. Take the one I’m shedding now: Tomorrow’s Destiny. There’s no way I could find my way through that by ear, so I’m doing the arpeggio thing, although I have a hard time with the discipline required to play similar formulations on every chord. This lesson reminded me that it doesn’t have to be hard unless you make it hard. Thanks.

Great stuff. I have been playing since 1953 and I learned a bit from this vid. Kudos to Chris.

...you've got my attention. Thanks. Subscribed.

Who makes this horn, flugelhorn? So soft and warm

It's still amazing to me how most players - whether beginner, teacher, professionals - insist on using the term "lip" slurs. Like @amandas1270's comment, I too struggled mightily with this concept until a Claude Gordon clarified that it requires disciplined use of the tongue, with the lips simply maintaining a secure embouchure. I'm a literal thinker and when I heard "lip slur" I actually tried to accomplish it by flexing/relaxing my lips! Of course, no player can do that without involving the tongue. I wonder how many other young players like me have trouble because of the totally misleading term "lip slur".

Nice lesson.

Hallo Chris, Thanks for sharing, God Bless You. Enjoying the video.

Can I please have your WhatsApp number or any platform I can send you my videos and check what can I improve my skills or playing

You couldn't get a better recommendation

I lost 4 teeth. in the last 2 years.... You have to rebuild your embouchure every time., but I'm 63

Polyphonics, bird calls and throat exercises.... That's why I can play higher than most people that are 30 years younger than a me that have been playing for 20 years... And I whistle while I work...

Hi from the Netherlands

@28 min Byron who? Lol you meant Nick Anderson stole the ball from MJ. Great video lesson 👍🏾 ✨️👏🏾👏🏾🎺

I started at 50 now I'm 63 and I'm out here killing it
