I'm an ol' "CP" (comeback player), starting back up after a 50-year haitus from the horn! Kind of consider this a "bucket list" thing. Don't have any desire to become a Maynard or Doc, just to be able to play somewhat decently once again.
Was pretty good back in the 1960's as a high schooler -- first chair 3 years in a Sweepstakes winning band, All Region, concert soloist, jazz band , etc. Made a stupid decision to walk away from a college music college scholarship. BUT, have always retained my love for music! The only thing I can play well now is the stereo. :) However, recently got the "itch" to have a try at trumpet again, then possibly flugel sometime later.
For starters, bought a reconditioned 45-something year old Olds Ambassador Bb in fantastic shape -- lacquer removed, polished raw brass. Now, I've just gotta learn to make it sing! |
