This article is a description and primer on Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) about the musical brass wind instrument =

called the Trumpet.  This document serves as a starting point for =

anyone with an interest in the Trumpet who reads and posts to the USENET =
Newsgroup <A HREF=3D"news:rec.music.makers.trumpet">rec.music.makers.trum=
pet</A>.
<P>
The following topics are addressed:<BR>

<H3>1) TRUMPET ON THE INTERNET</H4>

<P>
<H4>What is the Netiquette for rec.music.makers.trumpet?</H4>

Rec.music.makers.trumpet is a USENET newsgroup.  Like most USENET newsgro=
ups it is read world-wide.  This newsgroup is for anyone who has an inter=
est in the Trumpet.
This includes a wide range of experiences, interests and background relat=
ed to the Trumpet which is what makes this type of forum so rich.  Anyone=
 with access to post to the newsgroup can have a voice in any discussion.=

<P>
If you don't have any interest in any of the threads of discussions in th=
e newsgroup, feel free to start one.  It is highly recommend not to waste=
 your energy posting a complaint to the newsgroup because of a lack of to=
pics that interest you, or because you are tired of reading about certain=
 topics.  People are posting about them because they have an interest in =
them and it is bad manners to become a self-appointed net-cop in an effor=
t to control the flow of information in the newsgroups regardless of how =
strongly you feel about it.  Look at the Subject, if it is of no interest=
 to you then go to the next Subject that does.  For example, if there are=
 threads talking about lead trumpet playing and high notes, and you would=
 rather see discussions about Clifford Brown then you have a choice of ei=
ther posting about Clifford Brown or wait for someone else to do so.  Don=
't be mad if they don't though since those who post are not part of your =
Internet Service Providers staff here to serve and entertain you.  This i=
s why it is important to select the best description in your Subject when=
 you post a new thread so it will attract the interest of others.
<P>
As mentioned earlier, the demographic of this newsgroup is going to be di=
verse with all kinds of playing levels from those who are just starting t=
o those who make their living full-time in music and who have been doing =
so for decades. But a Trumpet player is a Trumpet player. All are welcome=
=2E  Enjoy!

<H4>How do I sign my postings?</H4>

If you want your postings to be taken seriously, it is a good idea to sig=
n them with your full name, followed by your e-mail address. If you wish =
to list your affiliation with a school, also include your title such as A=
ssistant Professor of Music, not just the name of the department. If you =
are a student, list that you are a student such as Undergraduate Student,=
 Graduate Student, or High School Student if you are including the name o=
f the school. The purpose of including the title is to avoid confusion an=
d out of respect to the faculty that you are not speaking on the behalf o=
f the school's music department or its trumpet instructor.


<H4>How do I buy and sell used Trumpets on the Internet?</H4>

You can do so by posting to Rec.music.makers.trumpet and the TPIN.  If yo=
u have something to =

sell trumpet related, put "for sale:" or "FS:"in the Subject header =

first followed by the item(s) or summary of the collection.
<p>
If you are looking =

to buy, start the Subject header with "Want To Buy:" or "WTB:".  When inq=
uiring about items that are FS or WTB, make sure you are replying directl=
y to the poster and not the entire newsgroup.  There is no need to make y=
our private business transactions public and the original poster of the a=
rticle might not read your reply, so it is best to reply to them directly=
=2E
