That 238 bell might be too big for the Malone leadpipe. The more I play my Bach/Laskey C with Scott's version of the #6 pipe, the more I realize how easy it is to play. A lot more efficient.

Contrary to popular beliefe, Herseth did not use a 25H pipe on his C trumpet. I believe his pipe was very close to a #6, like I have on my Laskey C.

I would be curious to hear how that Mount Vernon #6 pipe would work with the 238 bell. The nice thing about that Faddis style front brace is that you can move it around until you find the "sweet spot".
I would also get a 229 bell made up for your C.

I would go for broke and get both MF Prana mouthpieces. The #13 throat will really help when you want to paste the conductor's ears back.

Yeah, I am going to do Cat in a few minutes here.......
