Sorry, my friend, just testing how to post a picture!

And another one!

Conn New Wonder (with the mechanism that works) here too...

Not sure it's the good place for this thread? Anyway let's go:
I know a lot of people on this board also play alto/tenor horn, euphonium, and so on...
So do I (Yamaha alto):

Just out of curiosity, I wonder why nobody mentions here the possibility of using a cornet mouthpiece, with adapter.
I am not a wonderful example of a picc player, but I know several (far better than me!) picc players using this combo.
So I bought a Chinese (cheap but suitable for my use) clone of P5-4. Having tried all my trumpet mouthpieces (I have a bunch of them!) even my Monettes (not the AP or BP that I haven't) I finally found the best for me: a Selmer #2 cornet mouthpiece that I have since ... more than half a century...

Tomemos una anécdota ellingtoniana :
« Duke took the horn of Cat to try to play with »
Traducamos usando el traductor de Google :
« Duque tomó el cuerno de gato para intentar jugar »
Al revés :
« Duke took the cat horn to try to play »

El señor Ellington hubiera hecho mejor en quedarse en el piano.
Milagro de internet...

Unless I’m mistaken, did you lose a piece of your name too? I think I recognized you! Welcome on board!

Barely 4 years younger than me!

I use a Monette Prane FLG6 (Couesnon shank) mouthpiece.

Just as there is a Martin Committee Club, why not create a new group, for owners of horns made by Roy Lawler (probably more restricted since Mr Lawler has stopped almost all his production), also for any member interested in that brand?
Here it is, feel free to contribute …

Juliette passed away today.

Fabrizio plays AR Resonance material:

By the way, he also played the trumpet when young...

@J-Jericho

Alan Jackson :

"The Talkin' Song Repair Blues »
and
« Meat and Potato Man »

Maybe these two songs are related with what you are looking for ???

I haven’t your level in trumpet playing but have already five implants inside my mouth... and never had any problem with them! After each surgery one week without any playing followed by one week of gradual recovery and voila…

Yes I remember Urban Sax. They were fully dressed in white. For October 6 in Aubervilliers I suggest the yellow jackets.

What is Music?
Here is the u(l)timate answer:

@BigDub
On this Chinese clone exactly as on the original Schilke P5-4, the water key is fitted upside down. And I understood why: when you quickly remove the slide you avoid hitting the edge of the bell.
