Advice for beginning trumpet players

[SteelerFan]

Here is an inside clip of me playing. No matter how hard I try it is very loud inside and echoy. Probably die to my very open floor plan in my house. It distorts the sound which brings me to another point, practice outside when you can. It totally changes the sound dynamic. Right now I am afraid to because I have some toms occasionally hanging around behind my house that I might be hunting in a couple weeks.

Sounds really good!

Terry is so right about the "outside" sound dynamic. I really believe the trumpet is unique in that way - the way the sound carries. To me, a trumpet doesn't sound as "turkey" as other calls - but the birds respond well to it.

Here's a short outside clip of a Brian Mero trumpet. The sound really travels well, even when you're not cranking on it...

You guys both sound good. I can tell it would be excellent outside Terry. Steelerfan you sound great as well. Thanks for sharing

True, I was just listening to you then and now, good improvement/difference.

Terry you should post up a sound file of what you sound like now for comparison

If I can ever get my trumpets to sound like yours my vest will be a lot lighter! Well done.

Wow... that sounds really really good! I've never hunted with a trumpet before but have been practicing since last season and improved a lot. This thread has a LOT of great advice that would be very helpful to someone starting off. Very impressive the improvement you've made over the years terry
