RE: Transposition Exercises
Getchell Bk 2 helped me. Bk 1 and Sigmund Herring studies are also great for transposing.

pleasant surprise
Today I played on an old army Conn trumpet from the early fifties. Satin silver with gold wash inner bell. I got it for $25.00 years ago. I tried my Marcinkiewicz model 3 mouthpiece. Mercy! That was sweet I'll try again tomorrow to see if I was just dreaming LOL

RE: Any recent experience on resuming playing after CAGS?
I, too, have recovered from a triple by-pass. It was a shocking diagnosis for me because I had very little in the way of symptoms. I just took it easy regarding playing. What got me was that I developed a tooth infection and that is quite dangerous for a by-pass patient. I lost my two front bottom teeth. Playing with a partial plate is ok, but different. My embouchure had to be adjusted a little.
EVERYONE READING THIS: GET YOURSELF CHECKED! DON'T LET A HEART PROBLEM SURPRISE YOU!! NOT EVERYONE FEELS A SYMPTOM. -

RE: I'm back... Now with 100% full dentures and a long road of recovery
Congratulations I had two surgeries and a tooth infection that resulted in a lower partial. I still work on it each day. I found posting youtube vids helped me a little. I had something to work toward. I find I must use a very slight mouthpiece placement change.

RE: HELP! Corona has struck...
Use "Corrosion Cracker". I watched a tech use it to loosen a stuck slide on my Schilke and have kept some around ever since.

RE: Alan Rubin's Trumpet
I can see two finger rings around the third valve side. It may just be the photo angle, but the valve bloc looks positioned more to the back than usual.

RE: Differences between grades of instruments
I recall when beginner instruments had no first valve thumb saddle, and the third valve slide always had an adjustable throw ring that could be removed for a lyre.
