Next is my latest acquisition, a 70s era Olds Ambassador laquered trumpet. It needs a couple of slides freed, and looked like it hadn&#8217;t been played in years. A little valve oil and it was good to go for the tests. Last is my daily driver 1970 silver-plated Olds Ambassador. It looks to me like the silver plate is from the factory.\u00a0 I found etching on the 3rd valve slide indicating that it was a school horn at some point.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bell on the York is about an inch longer than the Ambassadors.\u00a0 I just noticed that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I have been playing with a clone 3C mouthpiece lately, and it is working pretty well for me.\u00a0 But I also used a 7C for comparison tonight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The first difference I noticed was that the laquered Olds was easier to get air through than its silver brother.\u00a0 I guess this is just differences between the two.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The York also was easier to put air through. I don&#8217;t know the specs for it. The Olds pair are .460 bore.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The laquered Olds was easier to play in the lower register where the 3rd trumpets lurk, than the silver one. The York also was like this.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since I am used to the 3C, it was easier for me to play on all 3 than the 7C.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I still want to try a 1.5C mouthpiece out to see what the difference is.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And the more I play with the (Florence Community) band, the more I realize just how badly I play. So practice is going to be worked in each week, too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That&#8217;s it for the first edition of the (dum dum duuuuumm) <strong>Trumpet Chronicle<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tune in next time for another bor&#8230; err&#8230; exciting episode!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(I&#8217;m starting a new series today, called &#8220;The Trumpet Chronicles&#8221;, about my come-back journey through the world of trumpets and mouthpieces, through the eyes of a former woodwind guy. \u00a0Enjoy(?), or ignore.)
