practicing Trumpet with old cranky neighbors?
ok. it's summer. the windows and doors are all open so the house doesn't get so hot. i'm TRYING to build up longer endurance and higher range...but of course it sounds like a dying goose. needless to say MY NEIGHBORS DON'T LIKE IT. is there a device or something you can MUFFLE the sound with without changing it? (like not a strait mute or harmon mute...cuz they change the sound of the note)
i'm not practicing at weird hours of the night or anything...it just sounds bad because i'm trying to stretch my range.
and they're not gonna call the police...well i think...nah i'm pretty sure they're not that mean
Yamaha makes a silent Trumpet Mute device. It has much less back pressure than a normal mute and allows you to practice without offending anyone. It might be worth trying out.
Here's the real deal though. Every neighborhood has "Quiet Hours." You aren't allowed to play after ten P. M. in most areas, or before somewhere between six and eight A. M.
Find out what your local ordinances say, and as long as you are within them, you should be able to play at a reasonable volume with no legal implications. This also depends on the relationship your parents have with those neighbors of course, but if they keep bugging you and you are within the law, you have a right to file a complaint against them for harassment!
