Bach bell, yamaha body? - Page 4

If somebody here can sell me a cheap 229, I'll do it.

Any takers? I can even try to post some sound clips if anybody's interested.

I think I would have all the work done at Osmun.

Thats my man Tom! Someone hook up Tom with a 229!

TopGun · 12-18-2006, 10:01 PM

I am in possession of said beast.

229 / artist model pipe and slide

I really doubt there are many if any more out there.

How does it play?
The perfect blend of East meats West if you will. Easier to play than before the "conversion." Very even.

How does it sound?
I am thinking I might put the 25H back on.

Look guys I don't have a lot of time here so I will cut to the chase. You want a great C trumpet get one of the old conversions. I have gone through many years and many tens of thousands of dollars experimenting in trumpet alchemy and all I have to show for it is a bunch of broken drill bits and busted dreams.

Would it play the same? I don't know.

Would the plating be a bit messed up? Yes

Do it Tom! No guts not glory!

I hate to rain on the parade here but MJ.........did these modifications work out?

I just have a second more but I will try to help clarify this a bit. It is one thing to get a horn converted by Malone or Blackburn. It is a much different thing to get a horn some back room joker slapped together using Blackburn or Malone parts after watching an American Chopper marathon and killing half a bottle of Jack.

Apples and oranges my brother.

I don't mind a little rain. But I'm not following you.

That just about says it all.

I'll chip in $5 to see this happen. Who is with me? I'll need before and after clips along with pics

Schwab · 12-18-2006, 11:48 PM

I'll see your $5 and raise you a 6 pack.

P.S. TopGun your avatar is freaking me out.
