Hi everyone:

I play trumpet in various bands in the villages and due to my work schedule find it sometimes necessary to practice either early am or late pm. Some instrumentation can get away with not "blowing" every day, but not so of a brass instrument.
There are certain muscles in the face, lips and diaphragm which need a constant workout to remain pliant and strong. I try my best to practice during the day but sometimes I just can't. Being a musician and knowing the need to practice at various times is not condusive to other peoples sleeping habits, especially here in TV, I had my den soundproofed and if practicing either early or late in the day, I ALWAYS use a mute to further dampen the sound.
Why anyone would want to play "out loud" on their lanai is just asking for trouble with their neighbors or possibly he/she wants to be noticed. If it were me, I'd go to their home and politely asked them to play indoors and during normal waking hours. As it is now creating a negative effect on our relationship as neighbors. A reasonable person, especailly a musician should know better.
If this person refuses, you may have to find a sound system and blast away at them for awhile. Kind of a coarse mode of action but then you are dealing with an unreasonable and frustrated musician.
