You are here / Technical / If I do TOL I never get higher than a C in the staff. Is this right?
Yes. If TOL is not your normal way of playing, it is hard to play with a lot of control and range is non-existant. TOL is not a high note exercise.The only thing that counts is to touch your top lip squarely. Range is not your first concern.
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.
Lochs is a gifted and versatile trumpet player: always investigative, seldom predictable; introspective and intimate.
Bert Lochs plays with the Enrico Pieranunzi Quintet on Musikfest Bremen
