As well as being one of Australia’s best-known and best-loved musicians, jazz virtuoso Morrison is a great storyteller, as this rollicking memoir shows. His adventures will delight, surprise and amuse you. They include living on a derelict sailboat in freezing New York in justified hopes of making it big there, sneaking over the wall of Government House with his girlfriend, who turns out to …

    This controversy of the emergence of virtual instruments sounds familiar, because in the 70′s did this same fear that would destroy the synthesizer with piano, this is a very old thought, let’s stop this insecurity, because what matters is the sound coming out, if that makes music sound good long life to Morrison Trumpet.

    Why don’t they put small turbine at the opening after the mouthpiece so that some enrgy can be harvested and maybe it could be used to power something

    It looks pretty useful, and I do agree with morrison, if you hit a key, you can’t do anything with it after. I actually had a similar idea with a silent harmonica which you could place in your mouth and use your hands to hit chords and melodies while using the harmonica to articulate and bend.

    Can you do a vibrato without the key, the old way?

  • PaperMateMan:

    I agree with you …
    I agree with you that’s it’s not cheap and you’re right elctric guitars and stuff do diminish and this is much cooler than any keyboard.

    What makes this better than, say, the Akai modified for trumpeters?

    I see where you’re coming from, don’t entirely agree though. Something of this quality will definitely last your entire life so long as you actually take care of it. Minor repairs should not be all that difficult either. Kind of comparing apples and oranges. They definitely both have their uses. I definitely agree that this thing is awesome! Going to buy one and stop working on my keyboard skills, haha

    #1 reason I’ll take acoustic over electric any day: Electric instruments don’t last a tenth the time of acoustics without repair.

    Nifty as this is, I ain’t dishing out $2k for something that’ll be dead in ten years when I could buy something that’ll last 100 or more for a couple hundred.

    Not to mention the fact that many acoustic instruments sound better over time. Electronics diminish.

    That said, These midi instruments are pretty cool, and far more accessible than a keyboard ever was.

    I admire and …
    I admire and respect musicians that have taken the years to perfect playing an instrument but I think your criticism is a bit unwarranted. In the digital age, that respect must extend to composers using these sorts of digital instruments as well. It may not be a trumpet in the traditional sense but neither is a synth keyboard considered a piano; regardless, they are all still instruments that require time and effort to play well. I could only imagine the possibilities with this thing!

  • imp4ever:

    Maybe for the …
    Maybe for the designers of the electric trumpet. But honestly, my biggest hurdle when learning to play the trumpet was oxygen control. I’d often get splitting headaches and a time or two momentarily passed out because I wasn’t breathing right. (Granted, I was much younger).

    I don’t really see that happening with an electric device which picks up on your tone and the amount of air and amplifies it…

    its not supposed to be a trumpet, its supposed to be anything but! Its just as hard to make music out of “electricity or fancy wiring” as it is on a real trumpet

    James Morrison is amazing though.

  • rugbyplayer9999:

    You cannot …
    You cannot seriously call that thing a “trumpet”. Real instruments don’t need electricity or fancy wiring. It takes talent to play any brass instrument…. not just pressing buttons.
