I took a new photo of my 1960 Conn 6B Victor, and included its case in the photo. The trumpet is in excellent original condition, and it’s just like the one I played in high school. I bought it on eBay years ago for $300 just for nostalgia, but it does play well. Not for sale, BTW…

@Dr-GO
Doing that cruise painting was equivalent to having a blind person describe what it looked like and having to paint it blindfolded…….
Well, not quite, but the challenge was very big!

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot this last year but remembered years before. Do not want to blame an aging memory, but I have no other defense. I will do my best to make this one.

Again, Thanks for the reminder.

This wording has long irritated me from various sources about various people. There is ~a~ A.F./Army/Navy/Marine band, and ~THE~ A.F./Army/Navy/Marine Band. They are not the same.

@administrator How does lt play?

It's a little out-of-tune, if you get my drift.

I've heard it's fantastic, but tough. Great for a student to earn their tuition!

see this post ok?

Sorry that your options are limited. Good luck.

I had a co-worker who went through college on a band scholarship. He said their entire trumpet section used STP as a slide lubricant.

I can’t imagine that working unless they thinned it out with some other oil. STP is as thick and stringy as honey.

It did work well. The drop of red colored solution was thinner than my UltraPure oil.

@Dale-Proctor Thanks very much! Although my tenure with the NHMP is relatively brief, the value of the program is very clear!

@J-Jericho said in You've never heard Kuhlohorn like this:

Dimensions and sound appear quite similar to a flugelhorn, but with a more rounded rounded wrap.

Agreed. The rounded wrap component is more related to the textures delivered by a keyed instrument. Here is Claudio Roditi playing the keyed flugelhorn that I feel gives a very similar tonal delivery

Sounding great, Steve! What a cool instrument.
Next time play a little of the Liberty Bell March by Sousa. 😆 🎺

Willy,
The Pukaea sound has somewhat of a “woody” character to it. I don’t think that is sound that Sousa was striving for, but I will give it a try. If it works out I’ll come down and rejoin the Florida Keys Concert Band on the Liberty Bell if I can play the First Pukaea Part.
Thanks for the compliment, and please say hello to the rest of the band from me!

@administrator It's just an alto horn in French horn shape with a trumpet shank receiver and right-handed.
