does anyone know much about bundy - selmer serial numbers? they seem to be rather difficult in tracking down, but curiosity has gotten the better of me and i'd like to know what i have (i already know it isn't anything special). serial number on the horn is 960594 ml.

With Valve 1 when i hold it down for a while it someitmes gets stuck half way or comes up slowly. I put oil on it but it doesnt seem to work. What should i do?

I was placed in the orchestra at my University this semester and this will be my first time playing with an Orchestra. This is a somewhat small group, as it only uses 2 trumpets. I am the 2nd chair. The first chair is also new to the orchestra and both of us have been discussing our feelings of anxiety over our new found assignment. Particularly, the issue of transposition is a tad nerve racking...

hehe...Maby in the next Olympics there will be a new event. "Double high C for as long as you can" or 100 meter High C

I hope the pic makes it here, even though it is a lousy one. I could not get the flash on the wife's camera to go off so it is yellowish. This is an old York I just bought, it is silver with gold inside the bell and outside as well. It dates fromm 1914 to 18 as far as I can tell. Other than two small dings this thing looks brand new, I can't tell if it was ever played, well, it has been now ...

I have sat next to some of the great trumpet of this generation, and I have gotten something from each one. I have studied with some of greats of the trumpet world, and learned. We now have YouTube, MySpace and numerous other sources of visual trumpet information. These tools were not available when I was a fledgling player. Today we can observe players and learn their "secrets." Any questions...

Please use this thread to guess how many horns Trent Austin has owned up until this point. Please respond once with a number. On Aug 1st Trent will let us know who is the closest. Not sure on a prize for this one. It won't be a trumpet. Open to suggestions!

When I met Wynton Marsalis, he was 18 years old and he played magnificently. When I met Sergei Nakariakov, Sergei was 14 and he played magnificently. Wynton played a Bach, Sergei played a Getzen. Both play standard horns and mouthpieces. Wynton and Sergei are both hard workers. Practice is what got them to where they are today, not shortcuts. Andre Watts was 13 years old when we ...

sorry to make it sound like an essay question i just want to start looking at good horns because i want to get a new one in 2009 and i wanna start saving now so if you can include a price that be great.
