Well, after emailing Tom and Bill M. back and forth, I ended up with a Silver Bb. I had been playing a Schilke B1L, B6Lb, and Calicchio 1S-2, and still do now and then, but seem to always come back to the WT. Then I got the bug for a Gold WT. Then I needed a Flip Oakes C for Church. Next was the Silver Flugel, for Big Band jobs, and latest edition is the Silver Short Cornet. The Bb's and Cornet are played every day, and the Flugel and C come out a few times a month.
The Silver WT and Gold WT are 4 numbers apart, and the Cornet has WLID Thing misspelled on the bell. For me, the WT has been the Best
horn I've played. I would encourage anyone looking for a different horn, to play as many as you can, and give the WT a test drive as well.
Enjoy the Music, Listen to Others, and Have FUN.
Bill
