This was my "you learn something new everyday" for today. I used to play the trumpet back in grade school and in college, but never did play with a mute. I love the old music that has muted trumpets in it and really enjoyed learning how the different styles affect the tone. Great video! 👍

Thank you for this video! It helps a lot as I am looking to start 20-30s music 🎺 Lots of inspiration from a local radio broadcast by me... “big broadcast by rich conaty” lots of great trumpet pieces

Great informative video T.J. You’ve inspired me to get back into learning to play after a number of years. Ive always had a love for the early jazz/swing eras. Can you recommend any particular trumpet more suited to this style of music? What is your instrument of choice? All the best.

That's great! You know, whatever trumpet/ cornet you currently have will probably be just fine to get you going. I do love my 1920's Conn Victor Cornet though, I also have a couple of 1920's Harry B. Jay Cornets which I find very characterful. Good Luck!!

@ That’s great thanks, it was actually trombone that I played previously so I don’t currently own a trumpet.

Hmm, not sure. I'll try and remember to measure and get back to you. I love playing it though, it's a good horn.

Great video! Do you know what made the old kazoo mute pictured at the end?

Thanks! I'm not sure who manufactured the Kazoo mute, the image is from Louis Panico's book 'The Novelty Cornetist'.
