Denis Wick 4 seems to check most of the points for me. I really tried to acclimatise to a 4B but it felt so tight in the high register on my Maestro.

I find that too. The V shaped mouthpiece is more efficient and easier in the upper register.

Indeed. I also felt more inconsistent on the 4B and had to work quite hard to get a sound I liked especially in hymns and slow melodies. It works out being more efficient overall to just play the 4.

Where can you get the Sheet Music?
@GordonHudson Ай бұрын
I just used the vocal score (for piano and voice) and transposed it as I was playing it. Thats why you see me shuffling the piano part around my music stand. I think I got it from Sheet Music Plus or one of the other online publishers. If you do that make sure you get it in a key that works on cornet. The first two notes on the version I played were a middle concert C (a D on the fourth line for Cornet) followed by a bottom concert C (bottom D on the cornet). That kept the number fo sharps down and made the top notes not too high.

I really dont want to take the tv apart but i may have to if nothing else works because im thinking i might have to get a new one if it stays there because its that problematic lol.

I was lucky, mine ended up att he bottom. These older TV's had lots of holes in the back. Current Samsung TVs only have holes for the stand, so on my new TV I covered those holes with black tape as I was fitting it to a VESA mount. Samsung told me that they couldn't;t take the screen apart as it requires a clean room and the bu was inside the layers of the screen unit itself. So they replaced the whole screen.

You're doing a good thing - and thank you for all your helpful and insightful replies. I came to the trumpet later on after a shoulder injury cut short my ambition of becoming a professional trombone player. I wanted to go to RNCM & join the orchestral world. Because of the injury I stopped playing and fell into a bad place. I did eventually reach out to some former bands I had been with and was encouraged to give the trumpet a go. At first I could barely play up to a C in the staff, but I kept at it because playing again gave me a shared interest with others. I progressed quickly and became principal trumpet of that band. I also got invited to a brass band, initially on 2nd man down, but got given the principal seat after a while. I'm sharing this because I want to give other amateur, comeback players, and latecomers hope that you can still reach a good standard of playing even without much, if any, formal musical training. I'm 31 now and have been playing consistently for nearly 10 years. I will never be the next Richard Marshall, or Maurice Murphy, or name anyone you like. I'm fine with that. I'm just going to be over here making the best possible sound I can and have a laugh doing it. Perhaps I should make some videos of my own on my instruments and pieces I enjoy playing. I've been thinking about it for some time. I hope retirement treats you well, and I look forward to hearing more of your playing!

I learned the trombone at school because a local brass band had just started a new training band scheme. I remember joining the main band a few months later to play 2nd trombone for Christmas carols. I moved to bass trombone not long after, when I learned bass clef. I think holding such a heavy awkward instrument at such a young age contributed to my shoulder injury. I begged and pleaded and had to do a mini-audition to prove I could read bass clef and be allowed the band's shiny Bach 50B3, but I did it. I will never forget the look on the MD's face when he handed 12 year old me nearly £6000 worth of trombone. PS: I got a chuckle out of the Maurice André thing!

I do something very similar. It took a little bit of experimentation to get it down, but I have a comfortable C above the staff now on any mouthpiece. I'm currently working on pacing myself so I can coast up there after 2 hours of brass band playing, which is easier said than done.

I'm a principal cornet player in the lower sections and it has been surprisingly hard to choose a mouthpiece. I ultimately gave up and went back to where I started with the DW 4B.

I'm looking forward to trying the modern ones and comparing them to the old one. I may look into the trumpet 4B as as well.

@GordonHudson 3 ай бұрын
I have no musical qualifications at all. I learned at school , but didn't do music as a subject. Then through brass bands. In 1988 I went for a trumpet lesson toa local pro and he said "you don't need a lesson, you need a job. What are you doing on Thursday?". I spent the next five years studying for a theology degree and working as a trumpet player. Mainly touring productions of stage shows and anything else I could get. In 2006 I started to have lip problems and went for specialist help to the principal trumpet of one of the symphony orchestras. That's the closest I have come to actual lessons, but it was more about resetting my embouchure and getting more efficiency. I did have the opportunity to hear, and work with, a lot of the all time great brass band musicians. I also heard Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Maynard Ferguson play live. My advice is to listen to lots of recordings of good player. Concentrate on making a nice sound. In my experience, lots of people can play carnival of venice, but not many people can play a hymn tune well.

I really enjoy hearing these kind of stories so thank you for the reply! I stopped having lessons when they didn't really go anywhere. I wanted to work towards an ARSM in cornet but it wasn't for me. I'm currently playing principal cornet in a local non-contesting band. It's been a wonderful learning experience for me and it has arguably pushed my playing to a level I never expected I could attain. I play hymn tunes and slow melodies nearly every day along with Arban exercises. I get a real sense of satisfaction out of playing a hymn or carol well with a nice tone and I think a lot can be said for it.
