von Winterfeldt, I thought the same thing, and wondered why the bell of the trumpet curves down as well. Maybe the trumpet can be straightened, or it is just a "perspective" issue with the photo. Thinking about managing to blow on a trumpet on a moving horse, the trumpeter must excerpt control over the trumpet to prevent damaging his mouth as the horse moves, often over uneven terrain. Inexperienced trumpeters likely had smashed lips and cracked teeth 🙀. Perhaps holding the trumpet closer to the mouthpiece enabled the trumpeter to protect his mouth more effectively. Or, it could just be a sculpting anomaly. 🤔😃 Lovely scuplts overall. Always room for more, and a unit of these will look convincing on the tabletop. |
