| Hi Kenzo,
Thanks for the correction - i just re-read my post and I in my haste to post I wrote B3 instead of X3 - Thank you. I actually got ahold of a friend of mine from New York for that info knowing Joe favored a Schilke LB during his road days and on his arrival to New York but needed model confirmation. He did tell me it was a X3 , but my fingers ( and brain ) gave out on me. ( he also thought Joe kept a B1 in reserve )
If i mentioned the guy i spoke with, you'd be sure to recognize the name and probably know him.
If interested PM me.
Iassume this was also the trumpet he was playing on Maynard's band when he was playing next to Stan Mark's Benge 6x/jet tone studio B set-up and Nicholson's holton St 306 ( maybe 302 ) / jet tone t2a set-up
Please add to the thread in any way being your playing and know the area.
Thanks again for fixing my " brain f***"
or " senior moment " like my kids refer to it
From what I hear out here on the West Coast - the " Chicago Brassworks " trumpets are a superb line of instruments.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the line, it's spearheaded by master craftsman Wayne Tanabe of the Brass Bow and East Coast trumpet extraordinare Rich Szabo. ( another former Maynard BB player )
From what I've heard, the GSC model is finding wide spread praise by all who play it.
Thanks again and all the best
