Skippy Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Yeah, if you're used to playing trumpet, high range on mellophone is way easy. It's pretty much exactly the same as a trumpet, just bigger, and a different sound. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 29, 2005 Author Posted August 29, 2005 Yea I noticed that today... it was incredibly EASY!!!!! My friend was amazed I could play that high on a mello... it was funny. Quote
Tnilli Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 All right guys i need some advice, i've gone through a variety of mouthpieces over the years and i need to get a new one. I have been on a Bach 3B for about...goin on 3 years. Its beat up and i just need something new. Any suggestions to other brands would be great so i could look into them. Thanks Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 31, 2005 Author Posted August 31, 2005 For marching band, I would suggest a 7C. I gives that brighter tone. Quote

rebel_raider05 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 most frnch horn stuff is the same. watch for the close intervals, and the fingering are mostly the same. and whos from richland that posted here? trumpet- bach piece of poo range-depends on the day mouthpiece-5c chair-last, waitin for another chair test. kinda didnt turn in my tapes. mighta helped. supposed to be 2nd or 1st. but oh well...

xredsummersunx Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Woah, heck yes. Everyone above who expressed interest in learning horn, DO IT. (I play horn...who knows why I'm on a trumpet thread.) I'm gunna say horn is VERY different (much harder) than trumpet. (I learned trumpet/played it for jazz band in 8th grade) BUT...the sound is beautiful and it's a lot of fun. Vic 1 Quote

Thanks In the long run i would say you need to get a 1 or 1 1/2 C, but i would first recommend playing on a 3C to help with the change Quote

Fortisimo Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 So yeah... how would you rate your school's trumpet line? I would say ours is... amazing. we have one guy who has made All-State 3 times (Band, Orchastra and Jazz) and another who has made it twice. And antoehr who might make it this year. We took 9 out of 12 chairs for All-City. We're looking forward to all-region and beyond as well... Quote
