You, sir, get a 20,000% raise! 😁

Aw shucks... 😊

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…

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!

@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?

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
