Would this trumpet be legal in DCI?

[Paralda]

from what I understand contras are more powerful and have always been used, plus they're manly as ####, the trombones do have a different sound from baritones, but you can't have tight drill with them as you can imagine, I mean they could be good and all you know, but it's alot to take into account when writing drill, I guess its just to much hassle and horns having different blends etc.

I understand all of those reasons, I just mean, are there any specific rules that prohibit those particular instruments?

I dont think there is for the sousaphone, not sure about the trombone, but really? Contra is a man horn! I tried one of my friends, and it hard to play, ill stick to my trumpet

I think there USED to be wording (prior to 2000) that specified legal brass was in G, bell-front in the matter of a trumpet, and 0-4 valves. I didn't see that wording when I skimmed the 07 rules, but t-bones are not valved and sousas are not really bell-front like a trumpet.

However, a VALVE T-bone might be legal so long as the slide doesn't move (although you'd have to check with DCI/DCA to be sure)....it would play havoc with intervals, tho.

What about bugles with a slide valve?

What about bugles with a slide valve?

Are you asking about a "slip-slide rotary" ?

( before the rotary was made available on the old G/D horns, there were single valve G bugles that used a slide to drop 1/2 steps ( NOT like a bone, a short slide of just a few inches that you pulled towards yourself)

Because I didn't suck the most, I didn't have to play one, yet started on a G/D V/R soprano

Yes, one of those.

I saw this on Facebook and just have to ask - would this be legal for use on the field?

That's a

[luvs me sum mello!]

It's 2 bells and 5 valves. 4 Piston and 1 rotary.

[Jimisback]

Looks like the rotary valve is only used to open airflow to the other bell. Nothing else.

Do corporations not proofread anymore? I'm surprised to see a typo on the official Yamaha Facebook page.

I see it on EVERY major web site today.

This instrument looks way cool.
