Als IK een (nieuwe) toptrompet zou willen kopen dan zou ik waarschijnlijk kiezen uit de nieuwe Yamaha Artist Model YTR-9335NYS, Schilke B1, Bach 197 of een Sterling ML37, Hub van Laar B5, Eclipse MR.
...mooi, dan hebben we in iedergeval dezelfde smaak qua trompetten... nu nog het mondstuk. Mijn VB 1C Megatone doet prima dienst maar ja, het gras in Amerika LIJKT groener.
Wat is jouw mening over dit antwoord dat ik kreeg van Monette...
There is no lipping up required --- unlike conventional mouthpiece technology. You may not realize it, but you have to push your current mouthpiece up nearly a half tone to play your high C in tune. If you played where your mouthpiece wants to place the pitch, you would sound flat on your high C. To make matters worse, your low C is sharp. So, you are having to push the notes below the staff down.
Why would they design mouthpieces in this way? You might ask! Well, the first full size trumpets were keyed in "A" and the mouthpieces worked very well for that key. When the technology moved to "B-flat" pitch, they didn't modify the mouthpiece design. They did make the cups shallower - thus the 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E ... they were referring to the key of instrument the mouthpieces should be used on. The longer the horn, the deeper the cup.
You can test this yourself. Pull your main tuning slide out until you are sounding a concert A on the open tuning note. Normally you would sound a concert B-flat. Hang on to the slide to keep it from falling out. Play your horn's low C, middle C and the high C. You will notice that your chops can relax much more on these targets. They are centered and full. Shorten the horn to B-flat and try it again. You will feel the compression of the octaves again.
Tot zover het antwoord van Monette op mijn vragen.(het antwoord is zelfs langer maar hier gaat het om. Hij heeft de tijd voor me genomen, aardige jongens daarroo.)
Ik heb de "test" gedaan en IT WORKS!! Of kunnen mijn Chops relaxen omdat ik eigenlijk een halve toon lager speel.
