      Quite a few people - even in the old TM days - have discussed how to store and present a trumpet collection. I always told them that my tame joiner made a special cabinet for me, holding up to forty trumpets... naturally, there were many shouts, "Pics! Pics!", and I never got round to doing that. But now, with the "quiet time of the year" coming up, I managed a snapshot.
      Originally, that cabinet was more or less the only large bit of furniture in the room. But then, the piano had to move in there, my wife's desk followed, and after the sale of one or two trumpets, my wife decided that the other horns should stand closer together for warmth so that she could take over one of the compartments... sorry for the mess...20211224_110854[1].jpg

      ... and the thing that started the schemozzle... Imitation of a cavalry trumpet, in fact a bit of bent tubing with something remotely like a mouthpiece at one end and something like a bell at the other... won it it a charity raffle, and never looked back...

      Storage for gig bags underneath, and lots and lots of sheet music and bits and pieces in the middle...
