A Possible Forza Trumpet Tour - Page 2

Greg,

How about a trigger on the first valve slide? And an adjustable third ring?

Interesting...how do you guys feel about 1st slide triggers or adjustable
3rd rings?

Solar Bell · 10-24-2005, 05:45 PM

Check out the trigger on a 70's Courtois 708 Sonic or LeBlanc 707 Sonic.
Simple and very functional.

This is mine.

When I bought my B1 I also test-played an S32. I absolutely LOVED the 1st ring (and position & angle) that Schilke use on their S- series. If I were ordering from the factory that's exactly what I'd spec on the B series horn. It just made picking up the horn like putting on a well-fitted glove.

Something 'intimate' about it.

No trigger please...

To any UK TMers.

I'm getting a Pilczuk leadpipe put on my Ambassador along with some other (as yet undecided) mods. It's my second horn and I'm doing it as an experiment. I'd be happy to send it on a UK tour when it's done if anyone's interested. I don't want to steal Forza's thunder in anyway, it's just that we don't really get the opportunity over here and I think it would be nice for those of us in the UK to try out the Olds?pilczuk combo.

Cheers
Youri

Youri,

Sounds like a good thing to me. Feel free to use any information or ideas that come out of this if you like, I'm always open to discuss what works and what doesn't on my horns.

I'd be open to trying this horn.

I would love to hear this concept up close (preferrably with me blowing the notes, lol).

Cool! The more the merrier!

I'm planning to send at least two tuning slides with the horn. Any other suggestions for options (within reason - i.e. it will be raw brass, sorry I don't have plating capability)?

Greg

Heavens2kadonka · 10-25-2005, 03:20 PM

BEWARE, is all I say. Raw brass horns are a pain in the rear end to keep clean, and when it passes from hands to hands and spit to spit....

It will require nearly every tester to clean the horn or at least put a bit more effort in maintenance.
