Thanks, Hauke. :) I have time - and when I think of buying a horn I'm always wondering what it will sound like with this mouthpiece, and that one... Kind of you to comment. :)
I got the copper bell for $135 at a local Pawn shop. The copper looks really ugly if it's not kept up - and it wasn't. But it cleaned up nicely. I've still got it! :)
@@JonathanMilam1 I just bought a 1970 Selmer for $60. It’s mint . Beautiful dark lacquer from age.I’m learning from you. It came with a mint case ,two Bach mouthpieces ,and a nice mute
@@JonathanMilam1 lovely mellow tone and I mean it just looks so so great. This is deffinetely a trumpet. I would love to own. I adore my olds ambassador but this one is deffinetely beautiful.
This video turned out better than I'd hoped. I love the fat sound of the copper bell and I think the sparkling tone of the 22B with its brass bell is very appealing, too. Glad you like it, too! Thanks for tuning in - and especially for commenting.
Jonathan ( off this video’s subject) can you share how much practicing or playing time do you allow yourself without taking a break? For instance in minutes how much time do you allow yourself with horn on your face before resting, and how much rest before you begin playing or practicing again? I seem to get lost in my practice or music playing and suddenly after 30 minutes my chops are fried. Someone suggested to only allow 6 minutes of horn playing time followed by another 6 minutes off the horn, supposedly you can practice several hours doing this, I’ve never tried it yet. If I had to guess I might be trespassing sound reasoning specific to actual horn on lips time, i rarely seem to have fresh chops these days. Trumpet playing is such a joy I have a difficult time being reasonable about getting proper rest. Just any input would be great from young.
Paul; very interesting. I've read Doc Severinsen say that he takes 45 minutes to warm up. I think for warm-ups its definitely suggested that for every second played, rest that equal amount. So, for a 20 second long-tone at initial warm up, rest 20 seconds after. As one becomes a birt more warmed up, then half the time for rest. So, in a later warm up time, doing a scale for 15 seconds would mean a rest of 7-8 seconds. Still, one is letting the muscles bring blood back to the lips; and this is building the muscles up. Now it gets interesting... After the warm up? Well, if we play too long and don't rest, as you mention, we wear our chops out. I think this is good to some degree; because only when muscle is taxed can it be challenged to greater growth. So, if I play for a whole song with no rest; good for me (not sure about anyone else and we are all different). But logically, I need to rest for a while before I go back to the horn. I think Mike McGovern, a top trumpeter in NYC, discussed the necessity of always needing some rest - but he was in studio all day long. Still, as great as he was (RIP), he needed rest, too. If I don't tax, or challenge, my chops on occasion, then I don't grow either. Too much strain and not enough rest and my playing regresses. It takes wisdom to know the difference - and we're all different. This is a really great question - I'd love to hear others comment(s).
Thanks for your comment, Nikola. I agree; the 12B (with copper bell) and the Reeves C2J mouthpiece, together they create a lush, fat, creamy sound. There was an old jazz band that all played the 12B horns, if I recall correctly... Can you imagine a slow dance tune with several trumpets all playing this bell? What a thought... :) Thanks for commenting.
I really appreciate that you always compare with different mouthpieces!

That copper bell sounds nice

The 12B is truly a beauty
Beautiful tone, isn't it? Thanks for commenting, Pascal. :)

Bright tone is awesome as Usual. Pretty!
