Introduction to the Firebird trumpet with Indofunk Satish - part 3

Indofunk Satish addresses many of the questions and inquiries he's received about his unique trumpet, the Firebird, in this multipart series. In this third episode, he demonstrates his playing technique, starting with hand position, and moving on to examples using both the valves and the slide to play Indian-style ornaments, including playing the scale Kiravani using the aahitam gamakam.
