I really don't care about the politics of any of this, the music is fantastic. I wish there

was a group like this here up north that I could join. Now, a technical question for tapsbugler, are those old keyed saxhorns the same valve system as a trumpet?

For instance, if I go to play a written Bb, it is first valve, A is first and second, etc.?

@Mrmusicdude101 The 19th century fingering for the saxhorns is the same as today

A question for Tapsbugler. Sir, do you know which movie had the recording of Dixie featuring a high descant French horn (I believe) part in it? I thought is was in The Horse Soldiers when the cadets went forth to meet the on-coming Federal Calvary, but the ones on You Tube don't have it. Am I halucinating remembering this or I have succumbed to the onset of Old-Timers disease? Any help would be appreciated, Thank You

[tapsbugler]

Sorry, don't know. Maybe someone here can answer that

the south were not fighting to maintain slavery the confederate consitution tbanned the slave trade and it was unfair taxes that hurt the southern economy the north was forcing to thing like that and they used force and we were defending our homes

What possessed you to put this type of comment on an video of music??? What I really want to know is if you dislike the south so much then why did you even watch the video?? I really find this offensive because I know people in that group and am a SBS member of the 26th NCT.

i'm from Lexington N.C and i was wondering are these ppl from here and if so where are they located bc i need info of southern songs to play my trumpet and info to show ppl that this is a southern state plz comment back thanks

I was just given the CD, "Storm in the Land" by a group playing the recreated manuscripts. Beautiful music. As a trumpet player myself, I'm impressed. Burning question: Are they playing on the original mouthpieces? Trumpet players today have a lot of options, and are obsessed with cup shapes, back bores, rim sizes, ad infinitum. We're kind of spoiled, to say the least. And what did they do for valve oil back then, i wonder?

Had an Ancestor in the 26th NC infantry Company B, the Sandy Run Yellow Jackets. Hearing the music this band plays helps me feel like I have another connection with my distant ancestors.
