Are trumpeters less likely to go camping/doss on other people's floors
than cyclists? Mind you having been woken by a piper on a couple of
camping trips I can see why you wouldn't want trumpeters camping.

Probably not - but I *know* that there are URCers who may wish to buy
a sleeping bag. I'm not certain about RMMTers.

I generally take a flute with me when I camp. I also take my trumpet
and cornet mouthpieces in case I happen to stumble across the local
brass band rehearsal in the village hall.

I'd not take my Uillean pipes with me on my cycle camping expeditions
even though they are sweeter sounding than the Scottish bag pipes and/or
a trumpet.

Just as well, they'd have more than enough puff to blow one up themselves!

I'm a cyclist. And a camper. And a trumpeter.

Cycling and camping are a good mix.

Camping and trumpeting can mix, but only in the right environment ("Band
Camp", for example).

Cycling and trumpeting don't mix well, due to the problem of keeping the
instrument undamaged. I've never cycled to a band rehearsal, for instance.

However, cycling and trumpeting both result in an excellent lung capacity
and a peak flow (of exhaled air)graph well in excess of what should be
expected from someone of my age.

In my madder days as a student, I used to strap a double-case (trumpet
and flugel) to the external frame of an old rucksack, and cycle to
rehearsals and gigs.

I also knew somebody who had a "hack trumpet" for rehearsals which he
slung over his back with a length of string in order to carry it
whilst cycling.

I regularly cycle with my saxophone. It is a little battered now but not
significantly worse than when I left school xx years ago.

It allows you to play those tunes that people keep requesting [1].

[1] Anyone got the score to 'Far away' and 'A little bit quieter'?

Bah. Back in my student days, a fellow student routinely took his
french horn around by bike. His trailer was the most unusual piece
of equipment involved in that.

"Do you know `Loch Lomond'?"
"Of course!"
"Go and jump in it"
