Not even sure what to say about this.

But to think we've all wasted so much money on actual horns!

Mouth Trumpet is an "old timey" technique. The Mills Brothers were very good at it.

Back in my college days I had a vocal range from E below the bass clef to high F (3 ledger lines) using falsetto. My natural range is high tenor.

There were days when my lip would get tired and I would use my falsetto to produce the notes from C -> F. I don't know how but it sounded just as if I was playing them with my lips.

One day one of my section mates figured out what I was doing. So naturally he decided to do it too. (He great at imitating the crooners like Bing)

Well, he made a big mistake in judgement to try it during rehearsal and not in a practice room and the director was not amused.

Edit: now that I am old, most of the above treble clef falsetto is gone for good.
