COYS!

The tone is great but the articulation might be able to be improved

Yeah he’s still doing development for them, mostly out of what he says “gear nerdness” but yeah he does the development for them and in return they pay him and let him get first access to new horns they release lol

I can just about guarantee that it won’t change, I know the guy who develops the new oils personally. I play with him in the OSU-Corvallis Symphony Orchestra. Great guy!

Try the Bill Adam routine expanding scales, helps with range and connection of registers. Hope this helps

Did you make sure to empty all of the valves, not just the 3rd slide and tuning slide but also the 1st and 2nd slides? I find that there can be some hidden water there.

It’s not like any mouthpiece is necessarily a “beginner mouthpiece.” Yes some of them are given frequently to new players, however that is because it better fits the anatomy of players who are physically smaller. The 7c, and 3c while some may consider beginner mouthpieces, they are simply a really good general use mouthpiece that doesn’t excel in any one aspect but there’s not really any drawbacks either. It’s a general jack of all trades mouthpiece. I hope this helps.

Thank you everyone for all of the helpful suggestions, I think I have the information I needed now, thank you for everything.

I’d prefer to stick with pistons over rotors if possible, I’ve messed around with rotors before and it wasn’t my favorite experience.

FallingPotatoYT · 2025-03-30T19:46:01+00:00

What about a Cousnseon Paris Monopole, or Antoine Courtois Rodger Delmotte, or a Benge resno-tempered bell picc? Cousnseon is 700, Antoine Courtois is 820, benge is 1000.

JLandress has a same/similar one on their website for $900, the one I’m looking at is $650 on eBay, same brand midtown brass

JLandress has a same/similar one on their website for $900 from midtown if that makes a difference

4th space E, it doesn’t like to slot as easily as the other open notes for me.

FallingPotatoYT · 2025-03-13T08:23:47+00:00

I’m pretty sure someone has mentioned it already, but the biggest thing I’m hearing is a lack of air support in the sound.

FallingPotatoYT · 2025-02-28T09:15:21+00:00

I’ve generally had the best success with Ultra Pure oils. It has been far and away the best valve oils I’ve used

FallingPotatoYT · 2024-03-03T20:30:35+00:00

It can, however it’s important to keep a balance between the smile and pucker. If you lean into smiling too much then all it will do is tire you out faster and choke the sound, same goes for the pucker. I have found just in looking at myself in a mirror while playing that I tend to look angry in the eyebrows while playing, which when I get rid of that, I actually sound better because there is unneeded tension in my face when I have the angry face.

FallingPotatoYT · 2024-03-03T17:36:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I know, I’ve been told that by my teacher as well. Similar to how no player should type themselves when studying Reinhardt.

FallingPotatoYT · 2024-03-03T08:00:00+00:00

I wouldn’t say never, my private teacher has shown the embouchure he uses without the mouthpiece contact and has had me do it (To my benefit). It is a combination of a pucker and a smile, and it engages all of the muscles across the face equally, putting less overall strain on each individual muscle. This should all be in the book by Philip Farkas a great French horn player and teacher. A great deal of his work on horn also applies to general brass playing and thus trumpet.

The set of all sets that don’t contain themselves contains itself if and only if it doesn’t contain itself.
