I am a high school senior in New York, studying lots of interesting stuff including Comp Sci and music and math. I play the trumpet, flugelhorn, bass, and guitar. I have used Apple gear (Macs, iPhones, and iPods) for years, and have become a cheap IT guy for local small businesses. I have recently started iOS development, see my website for more info!

Dec 18	comment	How can I do rough vocals without hurting my voice? I understand, dont worry
Dec 17	comment	How can I do rough vocals without hurting my voice? Not really the sort of answer I was looking for, but still sounds interesting
Dec 12	comment	How can I do rough vocals without hurting my voice? When I do that, it always causes some throat pain and makes me lose my voice within a few minutes unless im well lubricated. It seems to me that rough should be easier than growling, no?
Oct 26	comment	Is there a name for the screeching sound made when changing chords on a guitar? A lot of hard rock depends on that sound during slower sections, see Seether.
Oct 26	comment	How to hit right partials on brass? So then double low C is the pedal tone?
Oct 24	comment	Proper way to finger Flugelhorn I have tiny hands, but find I play much more expressively with the meat of my fingers rather than the tips.
Oct 19	comment	Are there any (experimental) guitar strings whose cross-section is not a circle? Very interesting... thanks
Oct 19	comment	Are there any (experimental) guitar strings whose cross-section is not a circle? How expensive are sheep gut strings?
Oct 17	comment	Guitar Action for practicing and learning @VarLogRant, I think we're agreeing
Oct 16	comment	Guitar Action for practicing and learning I think it also depends on where on the fretboard you're playing. The lower down (like metal) it is, I think higher action becomes less of a problem. (lets you pick hard, reduces buzz for the open chords, etc)
Oct 16	comment	Jazz mouthpiece for flugelhorn? I love my current mouthpiece, I'm just looking for a mouthpiece that would fill a bit of a different role.
Oct 15	comment	The relationship between music theory and physical phenomena simple physical structures that generate chord types?
Oct 15	comment	Jazz mouthpiece for flugelhorn? We have an eight person section, so the flugel really helps round out the sound from the other trumpets. That isn't the issue.
Oct 12	comment	Jazz mouthpiece for flugelhorn? True. thing is, I play my flugel for cornet parts in my HS Wind Ensemble and some of them can get a bit rangy, in addition to jazz pieces.
Oct 12	comment	Jazz mouthpiece for flugelhorn? Thanks. I've got a Yamaha Bobby Shew Custom, so my guess is it can go as high as any other flugel-he sure can play high.
Oct 12	comment	How to remove a rusted mouthpiece? I doubt WD-40 would work, as the rust isn't just a source of friction but is acting as a bonding agent.
Oct 12	comment	Can I split guitar string gauges? I can deal with the second issue-for super-heavy stuff, I like the lighter top to cut thru the bass.
Oct 12	comment	Jazz mouthpiece for flugelhorn? Can you not give me a reply that answers the question?
Oct 11	comment	How many drop tunings can I use with one set of strings? See this question that you just inspired: music.stackexchange.com/questions/7498/…
Oct 11	comment	How many drop tunings can I use with one set of strings? I already use 11s as my normal strings because I play a lot of metal and like the tight response. Are 11s big enough?
