25 second Double G Trumpet Challenge
The first video in a new mini-series entitled 'Trumpet Challenge'. Its all quite juvenile, and certainly not musical, but we're hoping it can promote some interesting discussion and provide some light entertainment too...
First video: 25 second Double G.
Alex plays GR mouthpieces and is using a 66S for this video.
Please be aware that, should you wish to try something similar at home, there are potential dangers to sustaining notes which require such a high level of air pressure build-up. It is not uncommon for people to experience light-headedness or, in some cases, pass out completely. Never push yourself beyond your body's limits and remember that, ultimately, playing the trumpet should be an enjoyable and relatively comfortable activity.
