Dale Proctor has a spectacular aura about
I have a 1960 6B Victor (.433 bore) and it's a great horn. Very easy to color the tone as needed, easy playing from ppp to fff, good intonation (with the right mouthpiece), and great valves. It is a little bright, and makes a terrific big band trumpet. I have a 1920's 26B also, but it has a larger bore. Still a good horn, but is naturally much darker sounding. Works very well in "A" with the rotary valve tuning slide. Those of you who have not tried the older Conn pro models are missing out!
