Musical Notes
What’s on My Bench? 1947 Olds Recording Trumpet
What a beautiful day to share a beautiful Olds Recording with you all! This one is really in wonderful shape, and is nice and straight with just a couple of tiny dents to remove.
What’s on My Bench? Bach Mt. Vernon Alto Trombone
Here’s a cool little horn I finished up today - a Bach Mt. Vernon Model 6 alto trombone! This alto trombone was a conversion done on a regular Model 6, and the tech did quite a nice job on it. Note the unusual tuning mechanism!
What's on My Bench? 1921 Conn 20A Flugelhorn
Today’s feature is a real gem - a gold plated, presentation engraved Conn 20A! I did some rather extensive bell work, but managed to take care of it with no damage to the beautiful engraving. Don’t expect this horn to play like a modern flugel, but it is a gorgeous example of a fairly rare horn in good solid shape.
What's on My Bench? 1970 Schilke B1 Trumpet
One of the things I love be about my job is getting to work on horns like this one!! This particular trumpet is a Schilke B1, serial puts it at 1970. Though all Schilkes are great to play, the B1 is one of the most versatile of the Schilke models.
