I’m absolutely following your channel! I stopped playing trumpet in autumn 1996 and started in september 2024 as a complete novice again😉 I play my Conn Connstellation 38b 1968 which I love! I also play a Besson London 600 cornet that i’m not a friend of. I often use Yamaha silent brass to not irritate the rest of the family 😉 /Carl from Sweden
Hi Carl, I'm so happy to have you join us here! Thanks for commenting about where you're at. I almost bought a Conn back in my teens but ended up getting a Getzen and used that for a few years. I did find a very old Conn from the late 1920's that's fun, though smaller than they became. I got it in an antique store and it's in good shape. Good luck on your trumpeting journey! I'm just working on the next video for Clodomir #6 and working on playing my intervals better. cheers! 🙂. ...oh, and thanks for sharing where you're from! I'm in Canada.
Hey...cool about your Dad! I liked my Getzen when I was playing it. What one does your Dad have? I had an Eterna. .......ok...I'd better get back to it! #6 awaits! :-). Cheers!
Glad I discovered your channel and thank you for sharing your comeback story. I picked up the trumpet late in life and your experience is somewhat identifiable as I can compare your comeback with my improvement process. I’ll be ordering the Clodomier book and start going through it. That you would live near me would be great, so I could associate and learn firsthand. Based on your accent; are you from Wisconsin? I live in CA.
Hi, I'm glad you're here and thanks for commenting, too. Cool that you're ordering Clodomir! I'm not in Wisconsin, but I'm sort of close by. I live in Ontario, Canada. And, even though we're not close by to each other, I was thinking that there could be the possibility of "meeting" online. If you want to explore that, my email is deanna@deannaford.ca. If not, all good, too. And, all the best as you work with you new brass "friend". 🎺 :-)
Your career and life seems to mirror mine. Played professionally in my 20’s, got married stopped playing. Picked it up again about 15 years ago and then after a couple of years got rid of everything trumpet related. Now after multiple medical issues I started to play again. Let’s talk some time.
Hi, thanks so much for commenting here! ...and yes, some definite similarities! I also wondered about parting with some of my trumpets a few years ago and even came close to selling my piccolo but he bought a different one. I'm really glad I didn't sell it or any others even though they've been collecting dust! I'm really happy that playing is now much higher up on my To Do list! And, I'm happy to read you're playing again, too. :-). Where did you play in your 20's? ... yes, it would be fun to chat sometime. Take care, Deanna

@ I can ask. But I think it is some kind of student model from late 80:s
That's what mine was. I used it for a couple of years before moving to a Benge and then a Bach. Both I still have and are professional trumpets.

You inspired me to join the reg force in 2005. Thank you so much for everything.
Wow! That's awesome! You're most welcome and thanks for letting me know!
