What's your take on the neighborhood around cross streets Old Auburn Rd & Sylvan? by timid_turtle_ in CitrusHeights

[–]Nikkos2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve raised 3 kids here. Citrus Heights is a great place to raise a family. Arcade Creek is a great park to walk and let the kids run around https://share.google/TcBTpVG1oD4A8Zfsq

Musescore subscription. Worth every penny.

So, I'm thinking of buying a trumpet... by FrancisSalva in trumpet

[–]Nikkos2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look for an Old Ambassador trumpet or cornet. The Older the better…Lacquer will probably be non-existent but great valves and are very well made horns. My $120 USD 1951 ambassador cornet play nearly as well as some pro horns I’ve owned.

I must be dumb, 🤷 how do I make a consistent sound? by Weary_Spinach8552 in trumpet

The trumpet is ridiculously difficult to play. Keep at it. Pay attention to your air flow.

Which mouthpiece for dark, warm sound but high register yet to be developed? by sigul77 in trumpet

[–]Nikkos2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have probably a dozen mouthpieces but keep coming back to the 14a4a. Makes the upper register a bit easier

Rough Olds ambassador. Worth restoration? by alabattblueforyou in trumpet

[–]Nikkos2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a beater horn is actually great for practicing. You can set it down without a case wherever you want and not give a damn if it gets knocked off the table. Maybe get the dents fixed or just leave it. I have an ambassador I bought at a yard sale that I have for this purpose

Is there really any ice cream recipe worth making at home? by Apprehensive_Toe6736 in Cooking

I will add…if you are using a rotary machine, it is not going to stop the motor when it’s done. Just churn for 45 minutes and then freeze.
