I want to continue to try to learn things as I'm getting older, so I want to start learning the trumpet. (Actually cornet, but from my understanding, they are the same for playing, but have differing sounds and capabilities.... which ranges will be beyond me at first, anyway. It will depend on which instrument I can find.)
Now, I'm a decent/good musician- I can read music, keep time, etc...- so I'm not needing to start from scratch, but I've never played any brass instrument.
After a bit of research I'm hoping to pick up an old F.E. Olds Ambassador Trumpet or Cornet to learn on. (It also satisfies my preference for vintage items, as with guns.)
Are there any trumpet/brass players here with advice for where to start? (Other than stay away from people while learning so as not to be hated.)
Edited because I keep typing: "coronet"
