Many thanks for leaving a comment: thanks for your kind words. There are many possible answers-mostly depending on the circumstances. For me, it is a question of being asked or consulted about the aims of an orchestral project: I can usually get hold of original 19th-century instruments from somewhere. I think there is a genuine interest in playing on these instruments, but I suppose everyone has to draw their line somewhere on how many trumpets they are willing to buy, own, or use in (i.e. carry to) a performance. We took five instruments each (+ full sets of crooks) to this recording, and concluded that it would have been better to take fewer instruments... to pick one or two based on the dates of the soloist (the CD was a celebration of her programmes) rather than considering the lifespan of each individual composer. I imagine practicality and the portability of instruments was also on the minds of trumpet players in the 19th century. In modern times, collecting 19th-century brass instruments can be an expensive and space-consuming endeavour, especially if you don't have any projects in the diary (thanks, Covid) for inspiration or an immediate requirement(/payment) for using them. Musicians are sometimes priced out of buying 19th C instruments (especially of instruments that are in excellent condition, or that have the original case and crooks etc.) as they often end up going to museums or private collectors with greater buying power. So, those who are really interested will buy instruments speculatively, and they might come in handy... but for some who are more peripherally interested, that's a bit of an investment in something they might not be sure about. It's an interesting question, so thanks for asking.

@@trumpetruss Thank you for answering in such detail! I am just an amateur trumpet player, but I saved up for a good long time to get myself a replica Courtois F trumpet from Egger, and of course between being an amateur and in the United States, I've never come close to being able to use it for anything other than personal satisfaction. Which is too bad, because it sounds rather lovely. I appreciate that you and your colleagues are taking the time to think about these things! I dream of the day when it is more common to get to experience a greater range of types of trumpets in performance.

Thanks Crispian. Yes, the older mouthpieces are certainly crucial. Good point! Thanks - see you next weekend!

You are very welcome. Thanks for commenting. I am quite often in Germany and I play with Festspiel Orchester Göttingen who often collaborate with the NDR choir. Perhaps we will meet one day. Best wishes. Russell

Thanks for watching, Matt. Crispian is a good friend and colleague - he was actually the former owner of this English slide trumpet. He has several English slide trumpets, and some incredible examples. I expect he would have been using finger holes on his trumpet, or perhaps even a modern trumpet, depending on the context, for something like Handel's Messiah. Thanks again for watching!

P.S: As a trumpet player, perhaps you might be interested in attending one of my future natural trumpet (without finger holes) courses: www.russellgilmour.co.uk/projects/courses/

@@trumpetruss Now you say that, I do recall the finger holes! I was next to him on timpani. Not a big play in the Messiah but a fun one! Cheers Russell. Came here via the Newcastle Uni week

​@@MattMooreUK Ah, interesting! Yes, I had a nice message from Eric this morning to say it would be shared today! Thanks for watching. [P.S. if you'd like to come on a future course as a timpanist, with tuition from a top baroque timpani specialist, you'd be more than welcome!]

@@trumpetruss See you post-COVID for some early music

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll fix the sub domain which should forward to: www.russellgilmour.co.uk/projects/engraving/ where you can find more information!

@@trumpetruss see in the comments column this is without a pure hands push engraving machine. I want to buy this carving tool. In what media materials is this chisel? and how many chisels do I need to have to carve on a matchstick. I've seen your shop on ebay I'm sure I will buy. is there a contact that can be contacted WhatsApp ± 6285649941218

@@trumpetruss hello friend i saw this video from your ebay shop link. I'm very interested but the postage exceeds half the price of your chisel other options

​@@mbootgae1497 the tool is made from Werkstahl (Tool Steel), and the handle is made of wood. Many thanks for your enquiry.

@@trumpetruss I intend to spit in a lighter, what size mm should I choose? to finish a match i have to have how many 0hats like a ruler and background remover or is there anything else i must have especially the chisel thanks

The wobble at 0:19 is relatively normal as the screws were loose. After tightening them back together it works fine. The wobbling during drilling in slow motion is a problem especially when drilling very small holes. Probably because of the cheap chuck they are using.

Many thanks for watching!

These are square gravers, more info on the eBay listing here: ebay.us/rzdwjl?cmpnId=5338273189

@@trumpetruss this chisel for hands push engraving or with pneumatic mesin?

@@mbootgae1497 this is a hand push engraving tool. Thanks. R

@@trumpetruss I'm interested in your chisel. this chisel can be used in any media, iron / stainless steel can?

Northern Wolf - thanks for asking... all the gravers I make are push gravers. No hammer is used in this video (by the way, if one *was* to use a hammer you would hold the tool backwards in the non-dominant hand, which would be the left hand for me) and you’d probably have to sharpen it differently, though I’ve very rarely tried that style of engraving.

@@mbootgae1497 thanks for asking. You could try using them with a chasing hammer on the stronger metals that you mention (choose the 3mm shank tool) but the tools are intended primarily for precious metals and copper and brass - but those are just the applications I have tried myself.

Many thanks Sandy - you're very kind. I've learned a lot about arranging clips side by side on Final Cut Pro in the last week, that's for sure! Thanks for watching and take care!

Thanks Ryan! See you soon

Thanks Anne! I'll have to do another one soon - thanks for watching.

Thanks Katie! I think the Schott Music shop is the only remnant now... though I suppose it was a good place to have instrument makers near the theatres. Thanks for watching!

Many thanks for the very kind words! Thanks for watching!

A very good question... slides had obviously been around before the English slide trumpet. In a nutshell, I think flatt trumpets were used chiefly to enable minor notes to be played - to permit a kind of ironic use of what would normally have been a celebratory instrument, normally only playing in major keys. The English slide trumpet seems to have started out as a reaction to Burney's 'displeasure' in every countenance, to correct the naturally 'out of tune' partials of the harmonic series, but as composers began to write more harmonically-clever modulations to more remote keys, the English slide trumpet seemed to have found a niche as it could allow the player to play the pre-existing music (Handel etc.) as well as new music, in more remote keys - both with more adjustable tuning options. www.russellgilmour.co.uk/blog/index.php?id=3330440297840381379

Hi Frithjof! Thanks for joining in!

Thanks yustech! I thought the same while I was looking around to buy it. Felt like it needed more airtime!

When you have time, please video your activity with it. I'm sure many are curious about the TBH. Thumbs up sir and keep up the great content.

That's a cup mute, the outside can be detached so it is a straight mute.

Nice to hear from you +Richard Walz . This was the first time in years, and I've never really riden properly. First time when I was 5 in Canada - I rode a horse with a lot of guidance and then once when I was at school. Then last Sunday! First time in years! Are you in Burgundy in France? I thought you were the other side of the Atlantic!

No, just pleasantly settled in a small town in Burgundy (northern part near Auxerre with the Morvan to the south).

Thanks! It plays well, the mouthpiece took a little bit of getting used to for me as I am used to playing on larger modern trumpet mouthpeices and indeed larger baroque trumpet mouthpieces. The low register was hilarious for me, really struggle to play a bottom C on that setup, but after a bit of getting used to it, it's there. Fascinating to learn from what it can teach you.
