Hi all
Thanks Dave for your comment to my last post.
You could be absolutly right on Scott's equipment . I think you'll agree , when ever someone mentions a certain player plays a bach 37 - Med. Lrg. is the natural assumption of the bore size of that model trumpet
Just to preface my Englebright equipment description , I happened to talk to Scott here in L.A. when he was trying to decide about what to do about the condition of his Bach. He has a very acid based persperation problem that really plays havoc with the brass on his horn. He was trying out other Bach's but none played as free as his did. So he had a dilema , repair his old one or buy a different one, plus Scott is definitly no " gearhead " so it made his decision even more difficult for him. He really didn't even know what repairman would be the best if he decided to try to slavage his original trumpet.
He left town shortly after that conversation ( he has his girlfriend in Hayward California, were he likes to stay when he's off the road ) so I never found out the outcome of what he decided to do.

( you might have to click on Scott Englebright to bring it up ) were it give a description of Scott's equipment.
I thought he had a early Elkhart Bach 37 - med. bore that played really free, like no other Bach I ever tried, but was stamped " medium bore " ( actually M ) on the 2nd valve casing.
I actually have a call into his place ( before I wrote the first Bach post ) in Hayward and left a message with his girl friend asking Scott to get back to me when he could either by phone or e-mail. Scott's a great talker so I'm sure he get back to me and I'll let you know what he says.
Again, I can be wrong about this and if I am , I apologize now to all and thank you, sincerely for the correction.
Thanks again for your kind words , Dave - I read all your posts, they are excellent.
