Hi,

Here are a couple of players that play Calicchio. Not that they don't have a Bach in the closet or play something else at times, but they really made a name for themselves and a nice career using one of Dominic's babies

Help me add to the list with players from different parts of the country.

Chuck Findley
Jerry Hey
Gary Grant
Charlie Davis
Walt Johnson ( lead player for Elvis and Frank Sinatra )
Bobby Findley
Carl Saunders
Eric Miyashiro ( played a large bore 3L / 9 on Woddy and Buddy's Band )
Jay Diversa
Tony Terran
Bob McCoy
Zeke Zarchy ( Glen Millers " In the Mood " lead player )
John Thomas
Don Thomas
Steve Madaio ( Stevie Wonder , Chaka Khan )
Dave Trigg ( Maynard , present leadplayer for Natalie Cole )
Mickey McMahon ( Lawrence Welk - 20 years )
Tony Ferrell ( Andy Williams )
Mike Williams ( Count Basie )
Lee Thornberg ( the tonight show )
Freddie Hubbard
Denny Christianson
Chuck Mangione
The Origianl " Earth, Wind and Fire / Phil Collins " horn section
Elton Johns Horn Section
John Harner - Stan Kenton

Some of you might be thinking " these guys plays other trumpets now " and that's true but most of them still own their Calicchio and again I'm talking what they played while on the way up to having these fantastic careers.

Chuck Findley, Freddie Hubbard, Carl Saunders and Lee Thornberg are the only players ever really asked to be in an ad for the company and they all bought their trumpets from the company long before the ad " thing "

Help me out with some names especially player local to your area

PS: Don't get me wrong, I think Bach’s, Schilke’s, etc. all make really excellent trumpets and this is not attempt to try to pit one brand against
another. Just sort of “Look See "

I'd like to hear from the “Vegas “guys about this. I know Ron Barrows and Mike Paulsen both played Calicchio's while doing the " Stardust " out there ( I know Ron is in LA now , but Mike is still in Vegas )
Dan Falcone played one while with Paul Anka - right?
