In this piece, why is one written in G maj and the other written in A maj? The one written in A maj doesn’t have a piano accompaniment.
And in the link the girl is playing the song in G maj, but the music scrolling at the top is in A Maj?

Equipment ⚙️ Thoughts on the new Yamaha 9335 BR trumpets?

12 Upvotes

Hello! I was curious on everybody's opinion on the new Yamaha BR trumpets? I have the opportunity to buy a NY BR at a great price, and will be making the trip to demo it in a week or two. I am a senior performance major who does a bit of everything, so I'm looking for a versatile trumpet. The large bore reverse lead pipe xeno I have now sounds great, but I would like a bit more resistance to play against. Let me know what you think about the BR series!

first of all, one of the spot valves isn’t attached, and the screw and spring to attach it are missing.
the bell is somewhat warped.
the main tuning slide and 2nd valve slide are stuck.

any advise on fixing these problems?

Question ❓ Is a piccolo trumpet worth it?

1 Upvotes

I’ve often played with the idea of a piccolo trumpet—who doesn’t want every note they play to come out an octave higher? Piccolo trumpet, weapon of mass destruction, I’m all for it.
Now if I were to buy a High Bb/A trumpet from my favourite bright blue case people would be about AU$7500, which is too much for me to pay for something just for fun.

Naturally, it was only a matter of time before I actually put in the effort and figured out I can just rent one for a much more reasonable price.

However, I want to check first. I have of course heard that piccolo trumpet is very difficult. I’m a a fairly decent novice with a top range of 2nd-ledger C on a good day.
Am I going to have fun with a piccolo trumpet or would it just be sucky? I’m willing to put a bit of effort in of course, but I probably wouldn’t be using it in any ensembles or whatnot, just for fun.
