An opening Joke:

How do you get a trumpet to sound like a french horn?
Stick your hand in the bell and play the wrong notes.

A bitch:

What's with trumpet players complaining about playing with braces? Back in the day when I first picked up my first crappy Bach learner's trumpet, I had a chain comin' out of my gum attached to braces. You see, I had a tooth that had been blocked by an under-developed chunk of bone, so the dentists figured to cut open my gum, attach a brace to the tooth, and then yank the tooth down with a chain a bit each month. So that left me with about the worst set-up you could go about playing the trumpet with, and by damned, I played that trumpet, and I never complained about it. Not once.

I want a piccolo trumpet, but the cool as everything Schilte P5-4 is A) rare, and B) expensive.
