EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.<br />Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.<br />Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com <br />Call or Whats-app him: +2347012841542Tucker Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803726052277720550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301079526041772488.post-84703322652145264732019-09-22T23:17:12.123-07:002019-09-22T23:17:12.123-07:00Thanks for suggesting good list.

Which will have the greatest impact on brighter tones? Btw Monette now added threads to their mouthpieces so it still looks integrated but you have the option of putting a different mouthpiece.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606125988224461611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301079526041772488.post-32365375317353312732012-01-31T11:16:35.017-08:002012-01-31T11:16:35.017-08:00Some people claim they can make a small mouthpece ...Some people claim they can make a small mouthpece sound like a big one. But I have yet to hear someone who can do it. It's true that some players can sound good on small mouthpiece (Roger Ingram being one of them). But they do NOT sound like Maurice Murphy or Adolph Herseth!!!!<br /><br />In my 40+ years of playing (most of them as a full-time professional) I have fallen to the temptation on occasion to try to make a go of smaller mouthpieces. I've never been able to make them sound good enough to satisfy myself. On the other hand, I do find that if I practice enough, and practice correctly, I can make bigger mouthpieces (Reeves 43C and bigger up to a Bach Mt Vernon 1) work quite well for me.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />John MohanJohn Mohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634468180570014220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301079526041772488.post-53553421171318445452012-01-31T11:15:09.448-08:002012-01-31T11:15:09.448-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Mohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634468180570014220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301079526041772488.post-42918223488864184962010-02-04T16:03:42.884-08:002010-02-04T16:03:42.884-08:00Interesting post. I have always thought that the 7...Interesting post. I have always thought that the 7c was too small for beginners - mine certainly was a nightmare until I moved to something larger. I do however think that there is not 1 set size for anyone to play on, nor should the prescription of moving larger always be the case. I think finding "your" size is important. Let's face it - Nakariakov sounds AMAZING on a 7C and 10 1/2C and Maurice Murphy sounds AMAZING on his MM2C Denis Wick - which is quite large. The list is an endless one - gotta find what works.<br /><br />The idea of starting a student on a 1C is IMO a superb idea - it allows them the space to let the lips vibrate - oftentimes when I would teach, a child who cannot produce a tone on a 7C will almost always produce a tone on a Denis Wick 2. It is in my opinion that for the first few years the student should start with as close to "middle ground" as possible - say a 3C, and when a certain level has been reached then some intelligent selection can be made - smaller or larger.<br /><br />Your point about players using a mouthpiece to hide flaws is spot on - and you don't need my seal of approval, but it is great to see it in writing. Select for sound. This is what Lew Soloff does... Lew can play like a badass!! Seriously. And I haven't heard him sound bad!<br /><br />I am enjoying your posts - keep it up!<br /><br />Mikemichaelbarkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312597813443577311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301079526041772488.post-80075844852401340332010-02-03T04:50:05.250-08:002010-02-03T04:50:05.250-08:00What would your suggestions for the progression th...What would your suggestions for the progression that you give Trombone/Baritone, Horn and Tuba <br /><br />I am inclined to do<br /><br />Trumpet 6C Cornet 6<br />Horn Farkas MDC<br />Trombone 6.5 AL or maybe a 7C<br />Tuba?<br /><br />Franklin E.

The depth is not exaggerated, but very shallow with a slight V to the cup. Early in his career he played a very small diameter mouthpiece... the "Groovin' High model is a .590. Later models did get slightly wider, but never near a 3C!<br /><br />Small diameter mouthpieces only have limitations if you move your aperture. I tend to believe that you can make a smaller diameter mouthpiece work like a larger one if you know what you're doing! Roger Ingram would disagree with you as well about a smaller mouthpiece...<br /><br />Keith Fiala<br />www.trumpetresources.com<br />www.brassplayersolution.comKeith Fialahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481503188134686522noreply@blogger.com
