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...

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.

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...

One of my two C7 Lawler trumpets (step bore), the other one is in raw brass.

OK: first try, the same error message, but second try is successful!

Sí, un poco, porque soy vasco: primero hablo euskara, además francés y castellano por necesidad, e inglés como ciudadano del mundo.

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 …

Yippeee!

@tjcombo
With the original mouthpiece! For mine I had to find one on eBay.
I also had to change the springs. It now plays like in a dream...

@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.

@BigDub Yes, I have bought the Château de Versailles... A bit expensive to heat!
