Thank you!

[@ronlucas4449]

You remind me how much I need to practice more. Great post.

[@rextrumpet]

Thanks Ron! Hope all is great!

[@wythetrumpet6419]

Rex that was a great video! One thing your trumpets have in common, is you sound great on all of them! Man you have such a marvelous tone on every horn! I believe you could take a funnel and garden hose and sound great! Many thanks for the demos and video!

[@rextrumpet]

Well, you just made my whole week. Thank you so much!!

[@gil1961]

Man, you sure can blow. Wish i could play at your level. Or even at half your level. You make all your horns sound great.

[@rextrumpet]

Thank you! You can definitely play at my level! If I could figure it out, anyone can :)

8:05 The YTR-9710 is great for playing Bach's 2nd Brandenburg Concerto.

The unlacquered flugel sounded significantly better than the lacquered one in my opinion

[@rextrumpet]

Yeah that horn has a special quality, I think. I'm thinking of getting Yamaha to refurbish it and using it again.

[@ricaard]

You're a wonderful player!

[@rextrumpet]

Thank you!

[@pebblebeach8517]

[@GoodEatsFX]

This was fun to watch man, I gotta hit you up for a lesson one of these days. I’ll save my pennies for that special day haha

[@rextrumpet]

Thanks Christian! Man, I'd be happy to do it if schedules allow. If we find time, I promise you it won't be expensive LOL

[@GoodEatsFX]

@@rextrumpet I appreciate you taking the time to respond we’ll be in touch 🙏🏽🎺

[@pebblebeach8517]

Is that a Yamaha 631 flugelhorn horn ?

[@rextrumpet]

Yes indeed, both of them are.
