Most articles you read these days are going to be--at least partially--written by a bot. The goal is to drive traffic to the site, and thus to the advertisers, making money. If I added advertising to this site I could probably make more than $500 a month off it. Unfortunately, that's the reality of the web these days.

RE: The Icon and the Upstart: On Miles Davis’s Legendary Feud With Wynton Marsalis
Goes to show that you don't have to like EVERYBODY if you have massive talent.

RE: MARTIN TRUMPET
Have you inspected it carefully? I feel like you can get a pretty good idea of the build quality by checking the seams, solder joints, etc.

RE: The Icon and the Upstart: On Miles Davis’s Legendary Feud With Wynton Marsalis
@Trumpetb
Wynton is INFINITELY more sociable than Miles ever was. I think that the feud was totally unnecessary and the result of a huge chip on Miles shoulder.
Miles was one of the greatest influences on the trumpet world and he knew it. There was no room for his ego and another trumpeter in the same room much less the same stage.
To be honest, I prefer ignoring the extensive moronic side of Miles and focus ONLY on his iconic playing. I use those same skills when watching TV these days. -
RE: Blessing Trumpets
Definitely not interchangeable. I believe they are even made by different factories.

RE: Conn Continental Clarion Silver Trumpet
I don't see why not? $150 isn't very much and that appears to be in excellent condition. Probably could get more for it than that. I'm not a vintage horn expert but I think $150 would be VERY reasonable.

Matt Brockman: SCAM
It has come to my attention that an unscrupulous sleaze ball is ripping off unsuspecting individuals who are looking to improve their trumpet skills.
This is a PSA: Matt Brockman is a hustler & scammer. His program is not worth 1/10 of what he offers. Please do not purchase anything he is selling.
Please see the following threads:

RE: Same high quality as Recording models
At this point they are all old enough that you can’t judge one by another. Condition is everything when it comes to vintage horns, especially those designed with students in mind. The ‘Get an Ambassador” advice given to students on rental horns doesn’t always apply so well if the Ambassador they find has had a lot of use and/or abuse.
