@BigDub Photograph.

@BigDub One of your paintings?

@SSmith1226 Nice. Were the images from your photo library?

@barliman2002 I wish you and pray for a speedy and complete recovery.

Quite strange. Imaginative, but quite strange. Will it evolve and become commonplace? Can a Donald Trump speech become an Ella Fitzgerald song or a Lee Morgan solo? How about a video of the origin with the Tone/Transfer track dubbed over it? It seems possible. Time will tell.

I've always been a fan of Blue Mitchell. For horn nerds, it looks like he's hugging his Martin Committee in the picture.

My understanding is that Stagg buys low-end instruments from whatever sources are available at the time and then markets them under their own brand. Once in a while you get one that plays OK.

@Dale-Proctor I haven't gotten my hands on a Bach 3 to measure for comparison, but I, like you, suspect that the difference between it and the Benge could be the spelling.

I have a 3DC. for my cornet. It's nice, but I like my Benge 3 better.

I have a 3TC. for my Olds Special trumpet. It's a little deeper and more V-shaped than a Bach 3C, enabling me to approximate the timbre and playing characteristics of my Olds Studio trumpet.

I bought a 3M., but it didn't play as well as my Bach 3C for me, so I returned it.

One minor thing about them that I don't like is the shape. It's all taper with nothing much to hold onto when handling them, making doing so slightly awkward.
