It wasn't.
I'll give a hint, maybe somebody can tell me what school it's from:
There was a small green cloth banner in it that says PANTHERS.

The instrument itself does not resonate the high range the same way a small tenor does. It's certainly possible to have the chops to play those notes but it won't sound the same.

I have cancelled my planned stop in Oklahoma City.
Snow and ice is expected, and I am on my way out of Oklahoma tonight.

I think so but I'm out of town now. I can get back to you in a week.

Shuman angled trombone. Rare, but generally not expensive.

I have one and might be willing to sell it. You can't get any more unique.

Somebody left a bag at my table on Friday, with a lot of various lubricants in it. Contact me, I have it. You'll have to give me an adequate description... It's a particular color and kind of bag.

I think they sell that window frame material at Home Depot. Maybe if you look at how it goes together you can figure out how to take it apart. Or buy the pieces that you're going to break.

The last time I played it, 1st was on alto, I played 2nd also on alto, and 3rd was on a large tenor. I had brought both tenor and alto, only because I didn't know the other players and wanted to have the alto just in case, but it turned out he was an excellent alto player and after experimenting, th...

Tim, you may be letting the mouthpiece pressure off as you make the slur, and that's what's causing the leak.

Sometimes it's that you can tell the difference in ways you couldn't before.

I see what he's doing but I don't think it's possible to tell from that what he *should* be doing.
That is a case where I would take a different approach to start. It's a little too involved to discuss in writing.. requires some trial and error testing to come to any sort of valid conclusion

I will now be making 2 new stops, available for lessons and mouthpiece trials.

Oklahoma City, or probably Norman. I'll be there Monday evening 2/18 and Tuesday morning 2/19.

Also Louisville KY on Wednesday 2/20 in the evening, at the University of Louisville.

I'm now on my trip to TMEA and I left those rims at home. I can take care of those orders when I'm back on the 23rd.

There's one more food option that's not bad... Panda Express behind the gas station. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Panda+Express/@38.8746542,-77.0809739,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMuNSzMckK1CUvFsxboIfWwLUO4W1qwY765p43s!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMuNSz...

There is no storage for instruments. Either leave it in your car or carry it. There are hundreds of music stands there, you don't need that. There may not be any registration, it's free and open to anybody. The thing you do need to know is that it takes a while to get through security when you drive...

Oh yah, Fargo...
I went through there two years ago but not this time.

For sale is a 1964 48H in really nice condition all around. I will have it at TMEA this week. $1000
Right now it's in an MB gig bag that's sort of falling apart. Just something to carry it in.
No pictures... come by and see it for yourself if you're in San Antonio.

No, I'm open to suggestions. I expect to arrive in the area on Sunday evening and I can be there most of Monday. No specific plans yet.

I know nothing about it, but sometimes the family isn't as interested when the founder is gone. That also happened to Lawson French horns when Walter Lawson died.

I will be exhibiting my mouthpieces at TMEA next week, and as usual I will be making some stops along the way to meet with people who have asked for individual lessons or group masterclasses. In case you might be interested, my travel is as follows and I have stops planned in the following cities: H...

In general, nickel silver outer slides stay straighter and tend to dent less than brass tubes. However if they do get dents they're harder to fix. I've owned several 354's and never had any trouble except the slides took a long time to break in when they were new. They tended to be slow and need fre...

Yes.
I really am trying to keep the list current. I still have 3 of them.

Trade?
I just made 107 and 108 for you.

MT 99 or 98.5 is the closest, but ST and LT in those sizes are also comparable.

Same size but the shape of a 6-1/2AL, rounder that mine.

Or try an electric.

Depending on your embouchure type... it may be the backpressure, or it may be that the weight of the mute changes the angle you hold the horn.

I PM-ed you yesterday about taking an LT S102...

Hmmm... I didn't get a PM from you.
But it's yours, send $42

I used to have that exact same problem but it doesn't bother me as much now.
My solution is to shave at night so the skin has a chance to normalize before I play again.

I've added a few bass rims, and i'm trying to keep the list up to date as things sell.

There's no consistency.

...made from billet unobtanium, complete with a unicorn hide storage pouch.

Shhhh... don't give away my secrets!

"more R&D in the last 10 years than all of Conn-Selmer combined"

You may be underestimating Conn in the mid-1900's; they did a tremendous amount of R&D.

Rims available for half price plus shipping, no returns. These are new parts that have microscopic scratches or dents that a picky person would not accept as new, but most people wouldn't even notice. The silver plating is good on all of them and buffed so there is no roughness. They're basically ju...

Replacement parts are part of the issue but maybe not even as much as quality of the manufacture in the first place. It's not unusual to have parts break or fall apart when you start working on it... I don't do repairs myself but I hear about that kind of thing. No one wants to be responsible for te...

I have one of the JB or Selman altos a friend was selling. If I had started on that I would have given up... It feels like a lot of work to play, very stuffy and doesn't center very well. A new leadpipe would probably be well worth getting but it hasn't been a priority since I have an actual good al...

It's a 6 that has been cut down.

On the first one, Red Nichols, I realize you can't quite see his mouthpiece placement, but everything about his "look" and playing tells me he's upstream. Pete Candoli is definitely IIIA, and Al Hirt appears to be IIIB. His angle is high but some IIIB's are like that, almost looking like upstream bu...

I was specifically referring to octaves that were far off.... that's not a tuning system.

I don't disagree about tension vs "involved" but he's advocating "relax the corrners" when when that's the one place you actually do want firmness.

Maybe - I'll let you know as we get closer. I haven't made many plans yet, or advertised.

Nice review.

However I've never understood the attitude of not investing in improvements because "it would more than double my investment." It would be more worth it if you had paid more for the horn?

I'm planning to be in Houston part of the day on Monday and Tuesday. I will continue to San Antonio on Tuesday evening.

How about if I pick up mine from you on Monday the 11th when I'm in Houston? Or at TMEA...

Start on D and do lip slurs both directions from there. When F becomes more comfortable, start there.

If that's already working well, try starting on D

You have to puff your cheeks to circular breathe, but that also involves pulling them back in to keep the sound going while you inhale through your nose. So it really is storage kind of like a hamster. I occasionally puff intentionally for a few seconds just to relax them, if I feel my cheeks gettin...

I came across this video while wanting to reply to a different thread.

Three great trumpet players, all three different embouchure types - I'm pretty sure.

"Corners" and "cheeks" are two different things.
Relax the cheeks.

Dizzy's corners are tight.

I just love that out of tune intro to that guy's video.

Those "breaths" were edits.

It all looks pretty normal IIIA to me, I'm not sure what special feature Dave is referring to.
