@Richard-III is that horn for sale?

Dr GO

@Dr-GO great song and great job with it.

Thanks Doc-Wannabe.

That song was recorded with my prior band, Second Coming. We played more spiritual Jazz Standards (Mercy, Mercy), and took many songs from the Methodist Hymnal and converted them to jazz blends with re-harmonizing and more jazz phrasing styling. That band was a local favorite between Cincinnati and Dayton, and we had entire weekends booked for the several years we kept that band together. This was a regional fresh idea to take gospel and turn it into 60's style jazz.

Yes! They have a few available now at the Austin Custom Brass website. I’ve played it, and it is a great horn!

@Shepherds_Crook I was actually asking about Richard's 80A/DQ if it was for sale

Yup. Love the horn, but I have so many, I almost never play it. Message me if interested.

I love the sound of a copper bell on flugelhorn. It might even be OK on cornet, although I have never had one. But on the trumpets I have played, copper is just to dull or flat or something. Gold brass is the right metal for trumpet bells, IMO if you want a sound warmer than yellow brass. My Bach 37G is just right, I think.

@Dr-GO That's a great concept. What era and region did you perform? I'd love it if there was a need for a P&W horn band. Interest seems to be spotty in our church.

This band played from 2001 to 2005. We were essentially the House Band at a Cincinnati Club called Simone's. That band was even featured in Delta Airlines flight magazine titled: "Queen City Jazz". We also played frequently at Pachia's in Dayton, and had an every Sunday Gig at the United Methodist Church on Salem Avenue in Dayton where we were scripted to play Hymnal pieces linked to the sermon, but had the freedom to inject a classic jazz tune from the Real Books that had a connection to the sermon content.

I lost the article but this is the photo used for the "Queen City Jazz" article in SkyMagazine:

Seriously, is there not a horn you can get your hands on whenever you want?

Just saw this post, so I’ll resurrect it for this cornet. 1962 Conn 9A Victor short cornet. Coprion bell and leadpipe, in really nice original condition.
