Re: Pimp My Trumpet

I'll second the recommendation for Leather Specialities. Many years ago, when they only had a few offerings, I had them make some grips for me in different colors. I have green on my picc and gray on my Bb's. Now that they have more SKU's to manage, they might not be willing to do one-off custom orders. But hey, who knows? Give them a call.

I also use the lime green neon light string from Paris Mountain Signs when I am looking to draw attention to myself. I used it recently when I played for a local production of Peter Pan. Think Tinkerbell when you imagine the flashing green neon trumpet. I also used it when I played the "Blow, Gabriel Blow" solo in Anything Goes. It was quite a hit. Fortunately, I played very well in both productions. Otherwise my comrades would have really given it to me for using flashing lights to cover up for my playing.............lol.
