[MLA] Some beautiful trumpet playing

[Grimm | Eelco]

Hi Bob,

Thank you for sharing this indeed wonderful video. What a great trumpet player and joyful person he is. The passage about the cleaning woman outside of the hall who almost dies when he makes a mistake is hilarious. 

All the best,
Eelco

> Both the Vienna Phil and the Berlin Philharmoniker play with the Austrian Schagerl rotary-valve trumpets that are a little darker than piston valve trumpets.  It has valves and levers I've never seen on a normal trumpet.  Towards the end of the video Gábor mentions that, even for him, mistakes do happen and like a field-goal kicker who misses there is always another day.  It made me more glad than ever that I gave up my trumpet playing to go into engineering!
