My style of playing varies a lot. My main focus of playing is church, but this isn't just playing hymns. My playing consists of more modern Praise and Worship songs in an orchestral setting each week. I also play in a group that is more "Rock" flavored (
www.measureofgrace.com ). I also do special stuff at our church such as our current Christmas Show opener that consists of swing band music (Jerico Horns- Brentwood-Benson). And finally, I occasionally get a chance to play some big band stuff.
So, my playing style is diverse!
My arsenal include:
Bb Trumpet:
Conn Connstellation 38B (25 years old)
Flugelhorn:
Kanstul Custom Class CCF 925 (copper bell and silver plated)
Pocket Trumpet:
Jupiter 416BL
Mouthpieces:
Trumpet - Kanstul two-piece 3C/72S Backbore
Flugelhorn - Kanstul two-piece 3C/119S Backbore
My dream horn would be a Kanstul "WB-1600" (gold plating optional).
