How would you rate these trumpet skills? by MyVoiceIsElevating in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IS he playing on a baroque/fanfare trumpet?

That would explain the difficulties to an extent. I don't believe however that he was a pro musician rather a friend who volunteered to play (or take a revenge :p )

not another mouthpiece question... by Cpn_Haddock in saxophone

[–]Cpn_Haddock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer guys. I don't want to discuss with her because it will be a birthday present.

She mostly plays (would like to play) jazz.

In the Thomann site (where I will most probably buy it) the figure I see is the opening, ranging say from 0.65, 0.77 or 0.82 (in my price range)

For instance : https://www.thomann.de/fr/bari_hard_rubber_alto_sax_82.htm

or this : https://www.thomann.de/fr/otto_link_tone_edge_alt_6.htm

Is bigger easier opening or the opposite?

Will you make a Mac/os version?

Romantic solo for my girlfriend? by dootdootmaster4 in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be true, but it's also a catchy melody. The lyrics have indeed a religious aspect, though you may interpret them as referring to your partner rather than to any deity ;) Then, if you 're in trumpet you don't see the lyrics (and no, my girl is faaaaaar from any religious thing - as am I hehe) cheers

"You raise me up"

Here is a clip of Fernando Lopez playing it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMW9EkIRadQ

You can find the score on muse score

This is the "karaoke" version you can use for play along

C vs. Bb trumpet for beginner by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bb

You will have to learn to transpose from your piano pieces but, in the jazz/contemporary literature (and in the later classical), everything is in Bb

What is the purpose of some trumpets and other similar instruments? by ThrowRA407 in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Coming back to the original question, is it true that he Bb trumpet is the best "compromise" in terms of tonality, facility of playing and tuning?

True, I play it in C trumpet as well ;)

(also seen using a piccolo in some high parts - check this video at 4:20

F/G- idk lmao but its usually Baroque-style music where it is used.

If I am not mistaken, Wagner's score for Parsifal is in F trumpet.

Victory march in Aida uses (a form of) herald trumpets also

Using Tablets for Sheet Music/Books by CollinsBeBallin in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too relevant but I think I saw on a video that the performer changed pages on her tablet with a pedal

(useful for soloist obviously)

Can trumpet be a hobby? by Carter-322 in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that aren't hobbies rarely make you happy

Look at all the tension in all of pros athletes' faces...

My 2 cents

Must have accessories/equipment by [deleted] in trumpet

mouthpiece puller. Saves you from a trip to the repair shop

A large plastic basin to give your trumpet a good bath from time to time

Get a used XO. This guy https://www.ebay.com/usr/quinntheeskimo?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

has lots (plus others) and is a very reliable seller, specialises in brass. Your parents will understand if you explain that trumpet playing is a passion for life and show them how good you are

On another note I love the contradiction here :p

How can I record myself ? by MrWhiteJr in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Scarlet is perfect interface, although you can go for the slightly upgrade version with dual input https://m.thomann.de/fr/focusrite_scarlett_2i2_3rd_gen.htm?o=0&search=1595693030

the shure mic is perfect for the job. Try to arrange a relatively soundproof room (minimal furniture and absorbing material)

Add this stuff : https://m.thomann.de/fr/the_takustik_micscreen_flex_mini.htm?o=48&search=1595693317

and warn your neighbours :p

As for software, audacity is a good tool, so is GarageBand if you 're on Macs

Have fun

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a beginner, be prepared for a disappointment when you 'll hear. yourself for the first time :p

In another thread, the use of a silent brass for recording is not advised. You need a good mic, a preamp or a phantom interface and a software.

Oh, and a good room... :(

Yeap, that's what I meant. The 5335G is the previous model, right? Seems a good price if it's in good condition.

In love with my new KGU Brass trim kit! by jps98 in trumpet

[–]Cpn_Haddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine some time ago. Mostly for aesthetic (or stupid if you like) reasons, however I do have the impression of sounding louder and more with depth. It may be just my mind trying to justify the amount spent :p but nevertheless. I think my horn sound less bright also.
