Musical Notes
What’s on My Bench? Two Tiny Trombones
Wow, aren’t these little guys the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? Technically these are Soprano Trombones, though some may call them Slide Trumpets.
What's on My Bench? A Couesnon Flute
I'm currently working on a Couesnon flute. It's very interesting and very old - early 20th century - old.
What’s on My Bench? A Yamaha YCB-621 C Tuba
When you start, the tuba is dirty and you are clean. When you finish, it’s the opposite!
What’s on My Bench? A Collection of Conn 80A Cornets
It’s super interesting to see what features change over time, even though the basic design of the instrument remains the same.
What's on Brad's Bench? A 1957 Selmer Paris Clarinet
This Selmer Centered Tone Clarinet was previously owned by the infamous John Winston Grimes.
Happy International Women's Day!
I thought today would be a great day to recognize the women who work here at The Igloo - there are actually twice as many woman working here as there are men!
What's on My Bench? A Conn 10M Tenor Sax
Fun fact: the 10M is also referred to as the Ladyface, due to the portrait of a woman engraved on the bell!
What's on My Bench? A 1904 Conn CONNqueror Cornet
Pictured is a 1904 Conn "Conn-queror" Cornet that I gave a clean, polish, and a little dent work- the first time I held an instrument over 100 years old!
What’s on My Bench? A 1904 Conn Connquerer Cornet
Hey, Brass fans, here’s something extra awesome for you today! What makes it so special? It has its original lease/sale paperwork from 1905!!!
