Lightweight? Heavyweight? Why Should YOU Care? | Trumpet Demystified Episode 4

The importance of mass placement on the trumpet absolutely cannot be overstated. Aside, perhaps, from our pilot episode on mouthpiece design, this could be the very most crucial topic on our list of discussion in Trumpet Demystified. It is also one of the messiest to talk about, as there are a huge amount of confounding variables present, and it is difficult to discuss the subject comprehensively without making major assumptions or omissions. However, in today's video, we do our best to introduce overarching concepts of inertia, stability, and damping with regards to the amount and distribution of mass across a trumpet/mouthpiece apparatus. Sit back, put on your thinking cap, and maybe fetch something to take notes in! These concepts took me (and tend to take most people) a while to set in.
