  • so how does it work with both Rod and Phil being principal? Who plays what part? Do they both play 1st trumpet or does Phil and Rod switch between 1st and 2nd trumpet? How does the whole thing work?

  • @moorebaroque they split roughly 50:50 - so if Rod is playing First, Phil is off, and vice versa. Although at the moment, because very sadly another of our trumpeters passed away in November, you might see them both in the section at once, the one not on First covering whichever part is necessary.

  • What about Phil Cobb... isn't he Principal too?

  • @drummerbambi yes he is. The LSO has two Principals for every section.

  • he was principal trumpet for 20 years?

    Isn't it maurice murphy?

  • Hi foodmore, in the LSO we have two Principals for each instrument, and they job-share. Rod and Maurice were Principal Trumpet together for 20 years; Maurice for 10 years before Rod joined. Rod was once a pupil of Maurice's!

  • Thanks for posting this and stuff like this! Being a musician, I love getting inside an orchestra as much as possible.

    Smart move embracing this new media instead of shunning it like many do here in the U.S.

  • very very good teaching!!!

  • No doubt in that Rod has no chance to 1st if he was playing with Phil... He is god, but not that much... REGARDS

  • Dear Helmet. I am a youtube helmet police officer and it has been reported to one of our team that you are a helmet and are making helmetish comments. There are some forums online and chat groups available specifically for helmets such as yourself. I suggest you visit websites such as imahelmet or helmetsanonymous where i think you will be more at home.

  • This might sound dumb, but I'm pretty sure having a mustache helps with trumpet playing. Haha

  • @7:02- OMG as a trumpet player I know it's hard to play those huge intervals with such fluency and huge sound!

  • @hansloenjr Oh sorry, how many years have you been playing trumpet? and which orchestra do you play with?

  • @timmytankTK I am not comparing anything....and i am not a idiot. Just don't like his sound as i am allowed....

  • @KentPVA . Well i do know.....but thanks for the advise

  • @hansloenjr You should try and know what you are talking about before you go posting around. Just a little hint.
