| Thanks Larry for your extensive reply.
I've never seen such a large bell so I was wondering what the heck he was playing. He sounded really good on it. The sektion sounded fat with just 1 trumpet and 1 trombone !
I had a Monette B993 for a while, that had a 5" bell. I thought that was a large bell until I saw Bill Ortiz with that 6" bell !
I'm testing some new horns (Hub van Laar) on wensday. I'm in the very nice situation to help him out finding a good setup for a new line of leadhorns. The first prototype was really good so he made some variations on it that I'm going to try out next week.
Maybe I can convince him to make a extra large bell for me...
Take care,
Erik. |
