so here's some of the "family". I was going to find a way to take nice "artsy" photos.... maybe someday

this is my first Bach Bb!!

this is a later Bach Bb

My Bach C purchased used in 1970 and used for the next 40 years or so

One of my Buescher Cornets -- with crooks to make it in A, Bb, and C

One of my Conn Connqueror Cornets in C. Great instrument

My first C trumpet!! A DePrins (Antwerp) in Bb and C

Yamaha Eb from about 1972, currently with a Bach 39 bell

A couple of my Euphoniums -- a Double belled King (a 5 valve Conn is around somewhere) and the Conn 25I that was with me through college

One can never have two many mouthpieces, can one?

A Mt. Vernon Bach Bb n excellent condition!!

My 3rd piccolo trumpet (First Selmer, then Yamaha) a Schilke P5-4, mostly collecting dust in the case

The above collecting dust because this is the most used piccolo trumpet now!!

The trumpet storage under the mouthpiece tray

a strange creature.... looks like a violin case, BUT

it's the home of the Tomes baroque trumpet, A=440. C and D

What room would be complete without a Tuba (Buescher Eb)

The main Bb trumpet now, Yamaha Chicago Bb

The main C trumpet now - Yamaha Chicago C

not last (because there are well over 100 other instruments around in various places) and certainly not least.... my Yamaha Rotary C trumpet
