Hmmm....has anyone seen or heard of a small thin device that slips into your trumpet mouthpiece and extends into the lead pipe to create sort of a Chet Baker-like sexy sound? If so, any idea who sells these?

New one to me. :C) - Pete

I've always wanted to try one of those bell rings they also sell. I wonder how much difference it makes, regardless I like the aesthetic.

You could always learn how to emulate the sound... check out players like Arve Henriksen, Jon Hassel, Nils Petter Molvaer, and Mathias Eick who play with a 'breathy' tone (I think this technique comes from trying to emulate the Shakuhachi flute rather than Chet Baker, but the manipulation of tone seems similar).

I do this when I play at low volumes. Heck, my teacher once thought my horn had a hole someplace and I have been working on getting a clear and non-airy tone at low volume for a long time. How do you guy do THAT?

The easiest way for me to get a breathy tone is to just keep the aperture more open than usual.

And on days when I'm really tired, I can guarantee an identical sound without the added expense!

Pickles and mustard both a lot cheaper and get the same result.

Me too. I know itโ€™s just a matter of taste, but I never liked the sound we are talking about, and I realize that itโ€™s a specific affect for a specific style, so Chet Baker fans, donโ€™t flip out here.๐Ÿ˜‰

I cultivate the breathy sound. In fairness, I play a lot of flugelhorn. The way I sense it is as using a lot of warm air. I try to feel as if I am intentionally putting air through my embouchure that is not buzzing. Open aperature.
It is true that it doesn't translate as well on the trumpet except in specific
contexts, such as harmon mute in close mic or playing open ballads in a small room. I can't really make it work as well above the staff unless my chops are feeling really good.
As far as liking the effect or not, it is my personal sound concept. YMMV

I've seen/heard Arturo do this kind of thing in master classes, and I'm guessing he does this from time to time, say, on a ballad, just as Chet and others prior. I know it does not sound quite like the Whisper-Penny, but it does seem to emulate the sound that some jazz/pop/crooner singers do. The breathiness in these sounds, instrumental and vocal, I think, can be very effective. This "technique" kind of draws me into listening more...not sure why...makes it more intriguing, maybe? The W-P device seems to take it a step further and is either interpreted as a novelty that can be used and accepted on occasion, or as an annoyance. Take your pick, right?
