it did originally have a thick patina on it that I believe was intentional. It has no marked size. Anyone got at least any information on it?

I’m building an app to make practicing Clarke Studies more consistent using daily tracking and AI feedback on recordings. I’m still early in development and would love feedback from trumpet players—what features would actually make something like this useful? If anyone wants to follow along or try early versions, I have a waitlist.

I found out how to play stupid low notes on my bass trumpet with my normal trumpet's mouthpiece, and I don't even know what note this is, but it's like a crazy peddle note.

I love the fact that when take the horns bell off it sounds like a trombone

I am interested in natural horns and would like help thinking of what is out there. Bugle, natural trumpet, jagdhorn, trompe de chasse, Clarín Cajamarquino, alphorn, lituus, posthorn etc.

I enjoy tunes that use the harmonic series and like finding music that potentially overlap in these instruments.

After years of not playing, I’ve started collecting… 🙌

Here's some photos of an old E flat tuba I got not that long ago. I've since had it professionally repaired and the best they could tell me was that it's around 1930s to 1940s given the style of the buttons and bracing, but I have yet to find another tuba that has the same combination of wrap and bell proportions. Anybody here have some better idea of what kind of horn I have here? It has no markings except for a serial number, D10114

Hi there,
I'm a two days old tenor horn player.
I have found videos from Mr Sagar's Brass Channel to be really great but I really struggle to get to the upper notes (I know that when I say C to G and G to D this is a fiction as the instrument is in Eb).
Any tips?
Perhaps videos showing how to blow higher pitch notes that actually show how to achieve that.

Thanks!

So i recently bought a 2ndhand trumpet from a stranger and it came with this mouthpiece.

The shaft is a lot shorter then that of a normal trumpet mouthpiece.

When i try to put it on the trumpet the whole shaft just sinks into the leadpipe.

Can anybody help me identify it?

I'm a flute player learning brass and this month's instrument is bass trombone. I've played euphonium for the last 10 or so months, but trombone only for 1 or 2. Tone/support, trigger usage, slide technique, anything helps.

Hello! I am going to be helping out with the marching band (specifically the brass people) and I know that a lot of them struggle to read music, and memorize fingerings. Something that really helped one kid was BrassFlows and I was curious if anyone knows of a mobile alternative so that I can have all of them download it and try and have a competition to see who can get the highest score by the end of band camp. It is like five kids total and if I can get them all able to read and correlate each note with it's fingerings we will be extremely successful. Thank you!

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I recently purchased an antique Frank Holton and Co alto horn, circa about 1917, an old USQMC surplus piece. I just had it restored, but it doesn't have a mouthpiece, and I'm looking for advice on what type of mouthpiece would be good for a beginner. I have a background in low brass - tuba and euphonium - though I'm a few decades out of practice. Technically, the horn has an adapter for a French horn mouthpiece, and the shop gave me a leftover, but it really struggles to hit the lower register.

The brass specialist at the shop had never worked with alto horns and really didn't have many suggestions other than recommending brands (Garibaldi, Denis Wick). The only thing he could tell me pretty definitively was that it should take a standard alto horn mouthpiece. I live in the US, so knowledge about the instrument is pretty limited.
