Brilliant idea! Had all of us at the shop laughing!
..glad to put some laughter in the world.
Thanks for all the great work you are and have done for us trumpet players.
Stay well and live long.
I’m glad none of my former students ever saw this or the plumbing store would have been over run and all the dogs not very happy with their toys that had received a lobotomy.
Hilarious! Thanks for the moment of Zen!
So what this post can teach us is that in order to play such high notes we need to get a tiny bit of skin on the surface of our lips to vibrate harmonically.
Actually what this post tells us is we have to put in the time practicing in order to get the high notes.
And all this time I’ve been practicing for the DUCK! Wait until I show my students, Hahahahahahahahaha!
Don’t get it stuck.
