"Moose the Mooche" is a composition written by Charlie Parker in 1946. Written shortly after Dizzy Gillespie left him in LA to return to NYC. Bird had been a long time heroin addict and had been using since he was 17. Some historians suggest that the song was named after the drug dealer that sold him drugs for several years before being arrested.
They are considered intermediate or step up horns. But I have played some very good ones in the past. Usually it is the valve action is the first thing to go on those horns.
Hi there! Great playing! I am looking at getting into the trumpet. I am quite proficient at Piano/guitar/drums and want to try my hand at a wind instrument. Would you recommend this for a beginner? How much should I pay for one?
I just recently bought one of those and doing great on it for someone that's use to playing euphonium. Can't wait to see whose level I'll get on. Great work Btw.

In the key of B-flat and has a 32-bar AABA based on the I Got Rhythm changes with extensive use of the ii-V-I turnaround.
Not sure what you mean by "velocity" as it applies to these pocket trumpets. They have about the same blow ( resistance) as a regular Bb and can play very close to the same volume as the Bb.
Hi, i love the sound thats produced (flugelish sound). whats the mouthpiece brand/model that you use to produce that sound? or any mouth pieces and produce that kinda sounds?
I'm playing a Reeves 43.5 C2J Mouthpiece ....... they are pricy at around $150 But Curry Makes a TF Mpcs that you can find on Mouthpiece Express for around $55
These horns can play the same range as a full sized Bb trumpet. The full sized bell flair gives these pockets a big sonorous sound and the ability to use all mutes. I own this scratched lacquer model myself and am very pleased with the CarolBrass line of horns in general.
@HornTrader Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed purchasing my Carol Pocket trumpet from you. It plays really great, exactly as you say here on the vid. I'm still surprised every time I pick it up - I'm a fan! Anyone else reading this and thinking about doing business with Steve, all I can say is he really knows his stuff, he's a great guy to chat with and you'll get your horn exactly when he says you will!
Fantastic Steve. I love that Carol Pocket trumpet. Actually every horn I bought from you was fantastic. Thanks you selling me the Bach 184 Large bore Cornet through HornTrader. I love it!!!!
The pockets are a big hit! The full size gold brass bell really sings for a little guy. The fact that you can put harmon or cup mutes in it are a big plus!
@HornTrader Hi Steve. I finally got the Carol Pocket trumpet in the mail. The Satin Finish is nice too. The tuning and sound is excellent. Perfect for travel. I believe that this is THE DEFINITIVE Pocket trumpet. Very, very reasonably priced!!! Thank you very much Steve.
I got one about 2 months ago, Silver Plate and with the smaller bell. Best pocket trumpet on the market!! This pocket trumpet sounds and feels so much like a normal Bb that I bought it with the smaller bell option just so I could get that real old school pocket trumpet sound.
Hands down recommend this horn if you're looking for a new toy!
What song do you play at about 50 seconds?

i have a question..do these pocket trumpets have the same range as a regular one? like can you hit the low notes on them?
SeerSucker1981 1 year ago
@SeerSucker1981
Theses horns have the same range as their big bb brother.
I prefer a larger cup mpc when I play these little guys because
it is a more pleasing sound that close to your ear. All that being said
They play the highs and lows just like a regular full sized Bb trumpet.
Enjoy!
