      Greetings and Salutations all! I'm happy to have found this resource.
      My name is Doug. I hadn't played in over 40 years since High School. After having a mild stroke event in December of 2018, I found the "therapy" of playing trumpet! What a wonderful return to something I hadn't realized I was missing! I have a older Conn Victor from the mid 50's that's been waiting for my return and a recently purchased 80's Conn cornet with a shepherds crook that are my go to instruments. (Someday, maybe a Bach or a Yamaha.)
      It's getting warmer here in central PA, I'm not sure if my neighbors are annoyed or entertained by my playing/practice with the windows open!!

      1955 Conn 22B Victor, 1988 Conn 34A Cornet, 1930(s) Americana, M1892 U.S. Regulation Bugle and too many mouthpieces...

              Welcome back, sir, from an old goat who started up again after a 50 year hiatus.
              I have 1962 Conn Victor 5A in my collection of horns. Large bore .485 and beautiful sound.

              My neighbors are very kind and look ward to the summer months when I play on my back deck in the afternoons. So I guess I'm not doing too badly.

              1960s King Super 20 Silversonic, 1940 Olds Recording, 1942 Buescher True Tone 400 ,1999 Conn Vintage One Bb trumpet, A 1952 Selmer Paris, A 2020 Getzen 400 and a Manchester Brass ACB custom pro Bb trumpet, a 1962 Conn Victor 5A Cornet.
