Horns:
Bb - ML Bach 37, full Larson Brasswerks conversion.
C - LB Bach 229, full larson Brasswerks conversion.
Picc - New Schilke P7-4 (grrrr)
Flugel - 30 year old, raw brass Yamaha 631 - stolen recently. ;( Bought
in 1978 for $235 brand new. Really hurting over losing this one.
Searching for a replacement... Sorta.
Getzen Custom C cornet - use mostly for solo work
Close to buying a Getzen custom Bb cornet with rose brass bell - see
above.
I play them like trumpets with cup shaped mouthpieces. No brass band or
Clarke solos for me. *ducks*
Eb/D - don't have one. Can't stand playing them. I've owned several
good ones, always end up selling them due to lack of use.
I also have a ML Bach C trumpet 238 bell that I am having modified by
Calicchio with a Larson reverse leadpipe and tuning slide and some
other secret voodoo. Hoping it will be a good solo/chamber horn. If
not, I might have it converted to an Eb. Yeah, I know I hate em.
Rotary - Shagerl Vienna 2001 C with a bunch of extras - this horn is
actually owned by my school, but I sometimes play it in the orchestra.
Mouthpieces - have about 40 on
my desk right now. Mostly for students and experimenting.
Legit:
Bb - Bach 1C, 25 throat, standard bbore
C - Stomvi Old Style Bach Copy - 1C - 26 throat, almost 24 bbore
Picc - currently on the mouthpiece safari to make the Shilke playable -
Reeves 42 SPC is the piece du jour. Also a Stomvi 7E and a Park with a
bunch of numbers on it and rick baptist's name on it..
Cornet - depends on the lit - Bach 6, Bach 1C, Getzen 4M, Bach 3c,
Parke Merkelo with a bunch of numbers.
Flugel - used to have a Bach 3FL. Liked that... Stolen with the horn.
Commercial:
Bb - Reeves 43S-690-somethin' and for extreme work Reeves 43ES
Many of my pieces are fitted and cut for Reeve's sleeves. My colleague
in the orchestra has a lathe and does this mod cutting them by hand.
Yeah, I know.
Ok. That was surprisingly fun.
