How many trumpets do you own?

Alex Yates · 09-22-2005, 11:30 PM

Heh, for me that is a short answer - seven.

I wish I could "collect" horns, but I usually sell one to get another. I still have a couple of decades to go, so maybe my collection will grow. This picture is from Leon Petre's studio in Belgium. This picture does not include other trumpets strewn across the room, quite a few in cases in another room and about ten natural trumpets in all keys decorating the entrance hall to his home. He has a dizzying collection in all keys and styles. Make sure to click on the picture so you can see the large version.

and some mouthpieces to go with that? LOL.

I'm up to 8 but I'm selling 2.

Yamaha 6445HII Bb, 6445HIIS C(Larson conversion), 6810S picc, 733 cornet, 731 flugel, Kanstul 1500 Bb, Courtois 154 flugel, and a beat up Ambassador cornet that a friend gave to me that he paid five bucks for at a garage sale.

I've got four or five I regularly use. That number increases to seven to include all playable horns, and nine for the couple of wall hangers.

Unless you include the two horns I seem to have permanently "loaned" to my kids:

Besson International Bb (Kanstul)
Yamaha YTS 61 tenor sax

The piano and penny whistles are my wife's. The violin is a rental for my daughter.
