Here is the first picture of the Eclipse Solar Bell Trumpet owned by Solar Bell, the artist formerly known as Schilke B6

I played a gig with the horn tonight...FANTASTIC!!

It is everything I could have ever wanted in a trumpet.

The 2nd set, I gave it, and a bunch of lead charts to the 3rd player and said "Have at it"

I almost didn't get it back for the 3rd set!

I will post more pictures soon and give it a review as I play it more.

Get ready for a whole bunch of Greats! Fantastics! Unbelievables! etc.

Hopefully this horn will prevent a future name change, to TR-300... Eastman.... First Act... or perhaps even China Bach Boy.

Chuck that horn is HOT :) Are you playing a different GR than when I saw you at ITG?

Congrats man, I'm sure the horn was well worth the wait.

Send my best to your lovely wife (and give her some earplugs cause I know how loud those Solar Bells can get!).

Best,
T

Chuck, I'm so happy for you! I know this is the horn for you after hearing you bring down the house with the solar horns at the ITG....
Have fun!

No,

In the picture I am playing the silver custom GR mp.

It is exactly the same as the gold one, but the gold one has the new T-72 backbore. I was just comparing the two and had the silver one in when the picture was taken. I used the gold one on the gig last night. It and the horn are perfect.

Congratulations Chas "Solar Bell" Willard! I am incredibly happy for you.

Are you droolin' 40cal? You're next!

The biggest detriment of having one of these horns is that you practice too much because you never want to put them down!

Chuck...that's a beautiful horn. Sounds like you're really happy with it. Congratulatios.

Toots..cowboy hats? Care to elaborate a bit? Looks like a fun story.

Chuck,

EXCELLENT!

Tootsall,

YEE-HAH!

Solar Bell · 07-09-2006, 12:12 PM

Ok a couple more...

Congrats

. I love the pic you took of it sitting on the ivorys. A very beautiful horn that I am sure comes with a sound to match.

Glenn, rather than hijack Chuck's thread I posted a response in "The Lounge".

Nice picture, Chuck. Kind of reminds me of a photo I once had of a Yamaha sitting on a keyboard! (or was it a Lawler cornet?).
