Is anyone familiar with Elie Siegmeister's theory books? If so what do you think of them, how do they compare with others...? I have both of them that we used in college a number:whistling: of years ago. I really liked them at the time and have started reading them again.

No, it's actually a 7K. I don't know what that would be equivalent to. My trumpet is a student model King Cleveland Superior, made in 1965. I guess the K on the mouthpiece is for King. I think I will head over to Trumpetherald and ask some questions. Thank you.

Hi, There's a lot of good trumpet specific information over on Forum: trumpetherald.com There is a forum dedicated to mouthpieces under the equipment heading. I have been teaching myself trumpt for 8 months and would not have been able to do it without them. I am thinking about getting a new mouthpiece myself. I am still struggling with upper range. I don't know if it is too soon to tell if it is me or a mouthpiece issue. I am considering the Jerry Callet Superchops 2 MASTER SUPERCHOPS, if I can come up with the money. It may be worth saving up. $125 + s/h I'm not in any hurry though. How high do you need to play with the big band stuff?
