Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2017 6:51 pm Post subject: Impressions of the sound of this horn?
Looking for impressions of the sound of this horn. Recorded with a Tascam DR-05 portable recorder in my living room so gauge accordingly. Left the sound as is - no reverb or eq. The Tascam records on the bright side. If you think the fidelity isn't good enough to form an impression I can do another recorded in a better room at some point.
Yeah, I know I'm no Herseth - looking for impressions of the horn not my work-in-progress "Pictures" sample.
If you listen to the end there's an Easter egg - something I discovered this horn does.
I'll divulge what horn it is after I get some feedback.
You seem to be able to land notes accurately. The sound seems even throughout the range you played. The low range sounds good and does not have a nasal quality. The recording doesn't bring out the "ring" of the upper register, though I can hear it. This is probably the recorder.
All in all, I like the sound. _________________ Brian A. Douglas

There is one reason that I practice: to be ready at the downbeat when the final trumpet sounds.
Very resonant, much more so than my Bach 239, it's a pretty sound.
Either the intonation of the horn is good or you are keeping it in check well.
If I were to guess, I would say it sounds much like my Dillon C. _________________ Mark LaSavio

This is the horn - $289 including shipping. I was using a Stork Custom Vacchiano 2D mp. I was amazed that shipping from China was five days. It actually got here faster than the excerpts book I ordered from California.
I discovered that if you flick on or near the bell brace with a fingernail, it makes a C-pitched *ting*. Is that common for C trumpets? It's a nice-looking horn. I like the fact that it doesn't have any brand/model name on the bell. As far as I can tell it seems to be a well made horn. Valves are smooth, slides all work fine.
My only previous encounter with a C was a few minutes with a Bach Strad C of unknown year at a local repair shop.
One oddity - it has a really large mp gap - I come up with about .3 inches - distance from edge of receiver to end of leadpipe minus the depth of intrusion of a mp.
Visually it looks like the exact same horn being sold under the Wisemann name, except the Wisemann has gold trim and rubber slide bumpers.
