This is unpredictable and varies from person to person. Small changes can be felt in the first couple of weeks, but it is rather a development than 'being there'. It is not a quick fix, but there are people that play better in a very short time. Others take considerably longer, but in the end everybody can benefit from doing the exercises.
Nice live video's from a concert in Boxmeer. Filmed and edited by Juul Thielen, sound engineer: Guido Nieuwdorp, mix: Bert Lochs
Bert Lochs plays a Van Laar B8 trumpet and a van Laar B2 flugel. A customized Curry 10.5C trumpet mouthpiece and a self designed piece on his flugelhorn. Both pieces share a sixties (Ratzenberger) Jettone rim.
‘It is a pleasure listening to music which is born of today with firm roots in jazz, played by three musically and technically well-equipped musicians. Excellent, lyrical compositions.’
Bert Lochs plays with the Enrico Pieranunzi Quintet on Musikfest Bremen
