Ewan did a set in Tiger's eye for my Recording a few years back. Great look with the Rey-O-Loy bell...and they turned out fantastic. Don't know if he still does them.

My wife is insisting that the Ambassador trumpet should no longer be allowed in our bed at night. She claims the cold brass is uncomfortable on here back when she accidently touches it. Is she being unreasonable?

Tell your wife that it's unsafe to sleep with the trumpet on her back. Lay the trumpet on the bed, between you two. And make sure the 2nd valve slide is facing up, to prevent STDS (sudden trumpet death syndrome).

@davidpaul For your own sake, the trumpet should be weaned.

During the weaning process, do you recommend scheduled oiling or demand oiling?

After all, the poor thing is over 50 years old and has hardly ever been played.

We're still talking about your trumpet, right?

Thanks for the link, Doc.

'39, '42, whatever, doesn't matter to me all that much. My understanding is that the early years of the Recordings were the best and it looks like I now own one of them.

Sorry to regurgitate an old post but I may have found some info regarding my "Wallace House of Music, Chicago" cornet.

This cornet may have been made by company by the name of William Frank Company in Chicago. Apparently, they made some horns for Lyon and Healy. Both organizations are defunct and have been for a very, very long time. This information came to be via a gentleman from Horn-u-Copia.

I also have pictures of some of these old horns. Other than being in less than pristine condition, they are identical to the Wallace cornet in my possession.
