I'm looking at setting up a place to record my playing and currently just have my phone and computer microphones. I don't know what a reasonable price range is, I just want a reasonable upgrade and I don't know if trumpets need specific considerations.
Thanks for any or leads.
Re-cap. The four-ply is a series of interlocked overhand knots. By changing it to a series of double overhand knots you get a large stopper knot.
First start with a double overhand knot leaving much more of the tail than shown.
Next, tie a double overhand/strangle knot through the previous knot.
Finally repeat this a third time and begin tightening it up. Fortunately I find chasing out the slack intuitive in this knot.

I ran across a horn (bugle) that had a tuneable lead pipe. Instead of a normal trumpet tapered shank it was threaded for the lead pipe. It is less likely to fall out, but other than that it seems like it doesn't really serve a purpose.
Must be because I used the 200mm side instead of the 8 inch side and this was a 15/16" bolt.
This is more of a general instruction question.
Many of you have seen the pBugle and is advertised for beginning brass instruction. Another group Brass for Beginners have also gone the valveless route and make a plastic natural trumpet that has a longer air column and easier to reach partials again for beginning brass instruction. Now Yamaha has a bugle-like instrument in Bb called the Trova to fill the same role.
So I guess the question is there any evidence that these instraments fill any need?
