O'Donnell Brass and Woodwind Repair updated their website address.
We recognize that some children can easily get their hearts set on playing a particular instrument without knowing if something as simple as the shape of their mouth precludes them from doing so successfully. Let’s talk about the woodwind or brass instruments that might be a good alternative for them.
It’s important to remember that not all wind instruments are utilized in all musical genres. For instance, the saxophone is a staple of jazz, but may rarely be part of classical arrangements.
Did you know that trumpets are among the oldest of all known musical instruments? In fact, one of the first trumpets was used in ancient China around 2000 BC. Ancient trumpet were long and rudimentary by today’s standards and had no valves. It was not until the year 1820 that Stolzel and Bluhmel, German trumpet makers, made trumpets with valves.
