Anyone play a trumpet or cornet?
I played for ten years and stopped when I was 20. Picked back up 51 years later when I was 71. I played a cornet back in the day. Bought a Strad and an Eterna Trumpet but just couldn't feel the love.
I went back to cornets and bought a couple. Bought some more-started giving them away to disadvantaged students.
Fast forward three years. I acquired about 30 and have around 14 now. I have 6 horns older than 1920. A bunch of them in the 40's and 50's. a month ago I bought a used 1985 silver Strad 184G with the Shepherds Crook. All I can say is wow!! What a horn. I can't say I won't buy another one if the price is right. But for now I'm good.
Anyone else play an instrument back in the day and start again?
