That was my MSN display name
Well VBS = Vincent Bach Stradivarius
Mr Leng sort of "forced" me into taking the trumpet, which has some pros and cons compared to my previous Yamaha Xeno
Pros
- easier to make a louder, brighter sound
- "perfectly brand new" as leng says
Cons
- have to re-habitualise to the new trumpet
- it's so smooth and shiny that it's super scary
- it's NOT "perfectly brand new"
The trumpet has a good tone and good sound, but I cannot get the best out of it, my incompetence...
Yes, so as Mr Leng says, it is "perfectly brand new", but there are blemishes on the trumpet already.. between the valves, the tuning slide... And oh, I can't get out the tuning slide. It's stuck.
Following that, we have to be responsible for our own instrus and as it was recorded "perfectly brand new", any scratches or dents or anything that should not be there would cost the user some serious $$$.
While rubbing off fingerprints and sweat (i have sweaty palms) off the trumpet, to maintain its "mirror-like surface" i think i SCRATCHED IT! (who says that cloth would not scratch)
Furthermore, wiping off those body fluids do not seem to work... The paper-cloth seemed to only smear them over the surface...
At the 3rd day of the camp, i found a dent on the tuning slide of the 3rd valve. And i do not know when did that happen..
Boohoohoo and I woke up halfway in my sleep (1+am), and cannot fall back asleep, as my mind was full of Mr Leng haunting me, asking me to take responsibility of the damages, which were unintentional...
It is really very painful using a new instrument, especially in this transition period of the old band culture and new band culture
Finding faults on the instrument seems like piercing daggers into my heart
Using this VBS, to others, may be a glory
But to me, it is an immense load of pressure, a torture
For a whole year, i have to take responsibility of this instrument
By next year, i might as well have got 忧郁症 and die of a slashed wrist
