Signed Trumpet Case

[barliman2001]

Already in TM, and here as well, I've from time to time talked about the trumpet case that I've been lugging around to every trumpet concert of note that I attended - usually with some kind of rare, original or weird instrument inside. I've had it backstage quite often, and usually was able to induce the star of the evening to sign that case. Quite a few people were clamoring for pics.
Now, the wait is over. Here it is.

So far, ten renowned brass musicians have signed. Whoever gets them all right will be entitled to a pot of coffee with cake in a Vienna coffee house.

That's got me beat. All I have are Till Bronner, Bill Watrous, Allen Vizutti, Chris Botti, Claudio Roditi, and Eugine Blee.

@dr-go
All I have is a signed autograph by Louis Armstrong and a handshake from All Hirt...

So far, no one has identified the autographs on my case... come on, exert yourself!

Jan Frideiman
Fred
Dusko Gopcviick
Paun Elpian

How'd I do? I bet I got 'em all right!

These are some of my guesses.
Dusko Gojkovic
Aneel Sumary
Guy Touvron
Jens Linderman
Ronald Rom

[barliman2001]

@ssmith1226 You got four...
Guy Touvron, Jens Lindemann, Ron Romm and Dusko Gojkovic. Six to go.

[barliman2001]

@j-jericho Sorry, you only got one word right - Amicalement. But who wrote it, is the big thing...

[barliman2001]

OK, I get the message... I'll solve.

• Top row, left to right:
  Gene Watts (Trombone, Canadian Brass 1990s)
  David Ohanian (French Horn, CB)
  Ron Romm
  Pour Elmar, Avec toute mon amitié, Guy Touvron

• Second row:
  Amicalement, Maurice André
  Fred Mills
  With best wishes, Sergej Nakariakov (signed his name in Cyrillic)
  Jens Lindemann
  Dusko Gojkovich
  Chuck Daellenbach (Tuba, CB)

Wynton Marsalis signed another case of mine because we happened to meet unplanned (in fact, in a full hotel breakfast room, he had to ask to sit at my table, ending up in a three-hour warm-up session in his room and a free ticket for that evening's concert. I had not even known he would be there (Leipzig) and was there for a historians' conference and getting myself a Friedbert Syhre Corno da Caccia - which was a fun instrument to play, but I never came to use it in a gig, so I sold it).

I have autographs from Chris Botti and Doc Severinsen. They're not rare, by any measure, but I like them.

I see the Guy Touvron signature.
Hey, how hard is it to get tickets to the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert?

[barliman2001]

@administrator Do you mean the New Year's concert, in the Musikverein? Pretty damn hard, and expensive. Probably three or four years on the waiting list before you get tickets. But you can pretty easily get hold of tickets for the dress rehearsal a few days earlier.

@barliman2001
Your autographed trumpet case challenge reminded me of this jungle scene where your challenge is to find the “hidden tiger”.

[J. Jericho]

@ssmith1226 It's "THE HIDDEN TIGER".
