Funny.

I have instruments in C, Bb, Eb, F, A, and G. As you know, the Bb trumpet can almost get to B with a harmon mute stuffed tightly, and the flugel and some piccolo trumpets play well in A when needed. Bb trumpets can also play in A with the main tuning slide all out. It's enough to wrap your head around, even without a capo...




Gee Matt. You don't even have a cornet in D? smile. No, I have not tried to change keys using mutes or slides. When I was a kid, I don't even think we knew about the 3rd valve slide. When I came back to playing after 50 years off, I fell in love with triggers, but I don't have any on my current trumpet. Maybe that's why I like my Getzen 3850 cornet so much. wink
