The Current Stable... some for sale & some not.
This was 'the collection' on July 22, 2006. Things have changed quite a bit since the picture was taken. I no longer have the Conn 21J, the Meinl 25, or the Carl Wunderlich BBb. A few horns have been sold and traded and replaced by an Olds 4V BBb, a Mirafone 186 5 rotor BBb, and some other 'odds & ends'. Shortly, I'll modify this page and change the photo to a more recent one. Some I play every day and others are for sale. From left to right... Conn 21J with upright bell (sold), Meinl 25 BBb 4 rotor (sold), Marzan BBb 4 piston (B & M model)**, an old German rotary flugelhorn, Couesnon Eb, Mirafone BBb 5V**, Mirafone BBb 4 rotor bell-front (converted to upright bell and sold), Conn Eb stencil, a Conn/Olds Eb 'frankenhelicon', Carl Wunderlich BBb 4 rotor (B & S stencil) (sold), King 4 piston Eb bell-front**, Couesnon BBb 3 piston, Conn 36K sousa**, and a Conn 14K (with added 4th piston) 'frankenhelicon'**. I keep the bagpipes around to irritate the neighborhood dogs. The gadget in the corner is common referred to as a 'stump fiddle'. I don't have a clue what make the trombone on the wall is.
**(currently NOT for sale.... but tempt me!) ;-)
