Where can I get a 15mm inner rim size for my bugle

no reason to feel prepared when playing like this here, people can be critical but this here sounds just fine for example

Absolutely beautiful, love it

When it comes horns a Bach/Schilke comparison is never out of date. The Bach sounds better in middle register. The Schilke shines up high, though.

Yet again, Cameron - fascinating content. A new-found, heightened respect, Sir. April 25, yes! Are you playing June 16th(FOTDP), Oran Mor, mate?

All your flugel mouthpieces sound like a cornet. this is not the sound of a flugelhorn there should be a larger size closer to the horn

It’s great that you have the opportunity to play jazz and travel around European cities! I can only practice and record my tracks at home. Glad you're doing great Cameron!

Fascinating stuff. I love the uniqueness of each instrument within it's class.

The 3cfl sounds better, more focused sound. I play a 3cfl and a 7cfl. I mostly play the 7cfl because it's less hard work and sound difference is marginal but I do use the 3cfl if my chops are in reasonably good shape.

I sent my two spare trumpets to Prozone to sell on my behalf. Their fees are smaller than eBay's. Will take a while for them to sell, but a lot less hassle.

Not Bill - although he wrote this piece

It's amazing how small changes can make a big difference. On a whim I bought a used Denis Wick 4x Heritage mouthpiece and it's actually better than my MF Jet Tone. If I still feel the same about it in two months it might be time for a divorce from the MF. We have been together since 1988 too.

At least you can hear him.

Too much echo bud, hard to understand what you're saying.

Hi Cameron, we could have met up, I've been in Manchester all day. Hope you're well.

My mom like sousaphone

Hey! Hop on a Ryanair and come try my horns :)

Nice! How do they feel resistance/feel wise in comparison to one another?

Mouthpiece design, and desired effects, is a very subjective subject. For me ones that physically help me hit higher notes more consistently force me to sacrifice tone fullness, and texture, making it sound more shrill, in my opinion.

Beautiful! Absolutely well done brother!

Good stuff here for my warm ups! TY sir

Beautifull wonderful nice thanks

Ages since I heard you - fine clear sound. So pleased to see you playing. By the way that exercise is in Flexus - My fav book

How are you doing now?

Thanks for this, man. I'm a 75 yr old American trpt player, had a 35 year career as principal in various European orchs. I'm now free-lancing in the US outside of Wash, DC. I love your accent. I called up Microsoft support many years ago while in Europe and the guy had a Scottish accent like your and I told him, very nicely, that I was sorry I couldn't understand him because of his accent. He said, "I don't have an accent, yew have an accent". I took 1 lesson with Doc R several decades ago so this was interesting to re-visit after all these years. Keep it up. Dennis

Bach sounds way better. I appreciate the Schilke trumpet fit and finish, and the engineering behind them, but the sound is just NOT there. Especially if you're trying to blend with other trumpet players...schilkes just don't blend.

Great stuff! It reminds me of the exercise in the Flexus book (quick registrier changes). It divides the octave in small intervalls at first (chromatic) and get wider (diminished arpeggio) and then a tritone intervall.

If you let the video loop you can hear then both back to back

You should have edited out the massive gap in the middle. It's so long you forget the first take.

You have a coool channel

Nice one Cameron. Sounding great.

英語解らないけど、何となく役立つ事を教わった気がします😊有難うございます✨

This video is a godsend! The concept of firm corners has always haunted me, because its difficult to find where exactly the corners need to be. This mouthpiece exercise has been the most consistent way for me to find the "sweet spot" of firm corners and relaxed center. When I go back to the horn and slowly engage the corners, I find my sound is immediately more full, rich, and CONSISTENT through the registers. Once I have that structure set, then I can really lean into the air support since the aperture can hold with the increased air speed. When everything starts clicking, it truly feels effortless to get around the horn.

I'd lost touch with your progress, although I know you were back performing - delighted to hear it. Good to catch up with your progress. All the best

Do your new teeth feel like they are yours now? Even a fraction of a mm can feel like a huge change. I do wonder if occasional use of wider rimmed mouthpieces might help you through some of those gigs. I have permanent lip injury and that's why the MF Jet Tone comes out for some gigs. I still don't know how I can go from massive mouthpieces to that, but I can. It's saved me a few times.

Spot on! A compressed airstream is a controlled airstream. It’s not so much the amount of air, but how well it’s controlled and compressed.

I taught myself to play guitar, and piano but as a child I always wanted to play Trumpet so eventually after seeing demonstrations of practice mutes at 60yrs I bought one, I do not have a solid practice routine at the moment I would be pleased to actually do half an hour a week but funny thing, I also play harmonica and I could bend notes and play blues harmonica the first time I tried it, I knew the instrument could make the sound so I just moved the aperture around until I got the sound, getting back to the trumpet first of all CZcams is a great resource for learning new things, I don’t know what exactly is triple C but talking from point of view of the valve diagram you get as a beginner the middle C I presume, the natural resonance of a Bb Trumpet so I can play that, the next octave, the next octave and some notes above that C not exactly sure how high as I said less that 30 minutes per week, planning to change that but it takes at least two back to back 10 minute sessions for the aperture to firm up again and not forcing it by tightening the lips is definitely the key or rather don’t thin and over tension the lips but compression with the diaphragm, tongue and aperture muscles like squirting out of a thin straw and the high notes are strain free apart from all the air pressure inside the body and a few weeks ago I accidentally hit the pedal tones and now have cracked that and long tones and pedal tones are the secret of relaxed high notes finally my point being with an average of 30 minutes a week if that, I can hit notes people are struggling with as they practice daily taking lessons and I CANNOT BUZZ MY LIPS AT ALL and any attempts to do so is extremely uncomfortable and my conclusion is, not an essential skill and can be ignored in favour of at least mouthpiece buzzing, lip buzzing the aperture needs to be way firmer than with the mouthpiece because the seal creates the pressure that you otherwise need to create by firming your lips excessively.

Nunca en la escuela de música me hablaron de esto. Thank you 🙏🏻

Should be constructive critic… I’m sorry I don’t understand any word. Maybe it is possible to do your material in a bit more understandable, English. As I said before, it should be no criticizing on languages at all. Thank you very much…

I had to stop using brass valve guides when I fitted Harrelson brass valve stems. It made the slots totally solid. Switching back to nylon made a massive difference. Hard to believe. I'm still not sure which combination I prefer. Still using the 43 as my main trumpet.

👏👏👏👍🤝

I find that Oral B Floss Action heads on my electric tooth brush have made a huge difference to my gum scores when I go to the dentist.

I am experimenting with tighter mouthpieces to encourage me to play more open. The results have been interesting. Upper range on piccolo now matches upper range on big Bb. I always felt strangled on piccolo above a G.

Is this from On the Corner by Miles Davis? (Joke)
