Yes, I know. I own three trumpets at the moment, and have been playing for ~25 years. > The point is, that they all sound different. Sure, they sound like > trumpets, but they don't sound alike. Yes, that's what I said. > But I really don't know what Wynton Marsalis's trumpet should sound > like. He has a pretty unique one, or at least he did some years ago at a master class I took from him. I don't recall the manufacturer (Monette, maybe?), but the mouthpiece was unusual, as was the overall shape. I think it was custom made for him. The sound was a bit dark, kind of throaty. Great for jazz. But unmistakably a trumpet - the differences between two trumpets are much, much smaller than the differences between a trumpet and another brass instrument. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49757 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
