Just Got a New Tumpet
« on: June 06, 2019, 07:02:48 PM »
I was just given a beautiful trumpet that was made for me. I have been asked not to say whom I received it from.

Here is most of the info on the trumpet, I left a short bit out as it could give the makers location away.

This trumpet was made from a Maple Tree taken from (Omitted) It was stabilized and the brass parts and Buffalo horn mouth piece is adjustable from a young hen to a old Tom.

The sound is adjusted by loosening the fitting and sliding the mouthpiece in or out. Shortening the call will give a higher tone ( hen) making it longer will give a lower tone (tom). The call is stabilized so cold, heat, or water will not effect it.

Thank you very much for the call, I am still very surprised.

Here is a soundfile, mind you I had it in my hands for less than 5 minutes when I did this. Also I did not adjust it as I was not quite sure how and did not want to break it. https://soundcloud.com/user-933394494/060615594700a

Sweet!  Being adjustable like that may help aid in learning to use one.  Congrats, and good on whoever made it for you, well done!

Thanks, can't wait to get arm out of the sling so I can play around with adjustments and all. Going to continue to practice like I do most nights, I do not know why, but I always want to practice after 11:00 P.M. Lucky for me the landlady is hard of hearing.
