Rapparee In the shop today (instruments) (11) In the shop today 26 Dec 24

So a couple days ago I pulled out the old trumpet (Conn, made in 1929) and blew a few notes. Yesternight, I took it out again to blow some Christmas carols. NOTHING! I oiled the valves, even disassembled the thing as much as I dared. Nothing; I thought it seemed clogged up. So today I took it down to the local music shop (yes, there are such things in Idaho which sell and service more than banjos) and they'll have their repairperson work it over.

I'd hate to have to replace it as I bought it in 1964.

I hope the repair guy, who seems honest and capable (I checked him out) can make it playable again. I'm not in the pro class, but I do enjoy tootling (as my wife calls it).
