Hi,

I have an LA Ambassador with the large shank. I use a Curry 3DC with a special order shank. Nice sound that tends towards the "American" style. A friend of mine borrowed it for our quintet and he plugged in is Schilke 15 with no gap or wobble problems and sounded quite "legit", if you will.

Best of luck, I love playing mine even though I own "better" cornets. The sound and the blow are wonderful!

Cheers,

Brian
