Custom, but these guys made a double bell euph from a willson 2975 and a trombone bell and what not... I was curious if anyone knew of this article and may they had a copy of it.. or heck even better..lol knew what site it was on..
thanks.. SJ
Kevin Powers did that work and, AFAIK, he's still with Custom. Why not drop him a line?

I thought Edward Mallett did that work? I know he had a Willson 2975 compensating euph - on which he added a bass trombone bell. :?

As I understand it, it was Ed's project and 2975 but Kevin was the torch jockey.

Thanks Chuck, I didn't know that Kevin did the work.

There used to be a web page depicting the step by step process of this major modification. I couldn't find it today though.
