Most Google news items are just within the last couple of hours. The article continues to say the fifty at the high school are being treated for injuries. The tornado hit at 1:30pm local time. The dead are also from the school The school had just been let out due to the bad weather at around 1pm. Sad. Will keep them all in my prayers.

Good sounding altissimo tenor m'pces in general? To: TROMBONE-L@server5.SAMFORD.EDU Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Hello all... A couple of questions... 1-Can anyone give me a rundown on Curry m'pces? I tried a few yesterday at Dillon Music...found one that actually worked very well, although I am going to have to go back and check it out again because I had to leave to help a sick friend (7M or D, I forget now) ...but they seemed all in all to be quite a bit smaller than the Bachs whose numbering system they mimic to some degree. 11s, 12s, 7s, in various cup depths. I can play the Bach 12 or 11 rims ranges quite easily, but my chop REALLY didn't fit into the 12 or 11 Currys. Anybody? 2-Why am I trying m'pces? I am looking for a one that locks in the altissimo range...above the 12th partial... on my Shires .500 without sounding like a buzzsaw or having a bad blow in normal use. I am using a NY 12C and/or a NY 11C on it now...both fine sounding and playing m'pces...but as I develop my altissimo range I am more and more dissatisfied with how they play in the upper partials. I can fairly consistently produce the notes through double C with no problem now...lots of volume, good sound (Whatever THAT means up there.)...but they are totally unlocked on my NY Bachs. I may as well be playing a good sounding kazoo. Anybody know anything? Either from personal experience or from observation of people who can lock up there. Caveat...I HATE the general timbral characteristics of most so-called high range m'pces. I am a big horn player both by nature and experience, and when I play most small m'pces it sounds to me like I am playing with a metal straight mute in the horn. Plus most of them really deteriorate both in their sounds and the way they play in the ranges below middle Bb. That's why I am using the NY Bachs. They sound big as a house throughout the main ranges of the tenor trombone and they are totally "playable" down through the 2nd partial as well. Any ideas? Thanks...

Good sounding altissimo tenor m'pces ingeneral? To: TROMBONE-L@server5.SAMFORD.EDU Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sam and all, I'd try a Kelly plastic mouthpiece. They're $22.00. They have a very nice high-frequency roll-off, like a soft bell does, but it sounds much better, to my ear. They've got a 12C, which I believe will be the same size as Bach 12C. And the mouthpieces feel really good on your lips...softer and warm. DanP >From: sabutin >To: TROMBONE-L@server5.SAMFORD.EDU >Subject: [Trombone-l] Curry m'pces?
