1 pointAre buying a Getzen Renaissance trumpet with tight springs, I noticed how loose the springs were on my cornet. So today I received new springs from ebay. After installing them, the action on the finger buttons were much faster. What an inexpensive fix.

1 pointGlad that you had the slide fixed. Surprisingly how some shops personnel acts.

1 pointThanks for the info and advice. Took the trumpet to Osmun Music and they fixed it right up. No “metal fatigue” after all, just a misaligned 3rd slide that I guess the first shop couldn’t or didn’t want to fix. Very happy with Osmun!

1 pointI have found when playing in jazz/big bands, it is nice to have others in the same section to use the same/similar mutes. In our section we all use Tom Crown straight mutes, and Humes/Berg cup mutes. It's nice to hear a similar "straight mute" sound across the section - and using the same/similar (copper bottom vs. brass bottom on a Tom Crown) mute is nice. Hope that helps!
