After practicing both my trumpet and my cornet, I decided to get in the "Christmas spirit", so I put on a Santa hat, and made a quick video of me playing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"... I wanted to play it with a sweet singing tone, a little softly, and not blast it out there. At the very end of the video before I shut off the camera, you can see my '75 Olds Ambassador closeup in the video. It has a Conn 3 (no letter) MP that I bought off eBay from Mouthpiece Express' eBay store.

Thank you...
I opted to use my Olds Ambassador to try to get a nice sweet, more subtle, type of tone for the Christmas Carol. If I played my Holton Collegiate trumpet with the Curry 3M. mouthpiece, it would have been a little too brassy with an "in your face" type of tone. _________________ 1967 Holton Collegiate Trumpet --> my grade school band trumpet.
