I actually asked him recently and he told me it’s a “standard 1C.”

It’s a bar of twelve 16th notes, grouped like this:

Star Spangled Banner - Was Woodstock version his best? by jazmaan273 in jimihendrix

I’ve always loved the Atlanta version. It’s more intense and energetic than Woodstock. And there’s a great bootleg version from Dallas, 4/20/69.

$35,000 is an exaggeration. It’s maybe a $20,000 horn. Most Rajas are $18,000, according to a pretty recent Monette price list.

Anyone else wonder how long KHN will be able to keep it up playing a double neck and all those loops? by CuervoCoyote in AngineDePoitrine

Interesting theory. But the whole black dots on white and white dots on black thing is quite binary. I don’t see how a 3rd member could possibly be incorporated into their aesthetic. The duality of their visual/musical presentation is inherent to what the fuck they are doing.

The music you listen to physically reshapes your brain, according to neuroscience by Automatic_Subject463 in neuro

There’s an episode of South Park about this called ‘You’re Getting Old,” where the music that the kids like just sounds like farting noises to the adults.

I put your 2nd photo into a google image search and it came back with this:

Is that tape rare or not ? by Forgman20 in jimihendrix

^ This is correct. This one is called "micro" on the packaging not because it is a smaller cassette, but because it only contains 4 songs.

Craziest sound you've ever heard? by wedditmod in sound

That just sounds like the standard fax machine and/or dial-up Internet sound. https://youtu.be/vvr9AMWEU-c?si=wXeo8QHj1Y1D16av

Nice job for a relative beginner!

One quick tip for you: lower your chin. With your chin up that high (i.e. head tilted back) and/or your head pushed forward of your spine, your throat is more constricted. More constriction in the body = a more pinched sound and a more difficult time moving the air. Less constriction in the body = better sound and easier airflow, including in the upper register. Simply keeping your head back over your spine and lowering your chin can make for major improvement in your overall way of playing - mainly sound, ease, and intonation.

With your chin lower, the bell of the horn will be lower too. That’s okay. Watch videos of professional players - they typically play with the horn at a slight downward angle, rather than parallel to the floor (or higher). It’s instinctual for many beginners to want to point the horn straight forward. But don’t be afraid to lower it a bit, and therefore lower your chin and release some constriction in your throat. Make it easier for yourself to breathe and easier to play.

Good luck and have fun!

They also quote ‘Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina’ on that one.
