I'm a conformer. I play what Carol plays, although I'm sure I used different mouthpieces.

Steve Marcus · Post by **Steve Marcus** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:06 pm

On 2/24/03, I posted:

Nirschl 4/4 CC with Laskey 30H and 30C

Conn 20K loaned by "the Maestro" for the gigs [parades] that he books

Steinway Model D 9-foot Concert Grand in my store

Fatar Pro 900 88-note Controller with Ensoniq sound module when portability is a must

Update:

Added these mouthpieces:
G&W Alan Baer CC stainless steel
G&W Matanuska (on loan from a friend)
Holton Galaxy (keepsake from high school only)

Conn 36K fibreglass BBb sousaphone with 14K brass bell purchased primarily for use at Cubs games (promised but never hired by the Dixieland bandleader; just as well because the 2006 Cubs games are worse than dismal)

Holton BBb Raincatcher with ornate engraving of "The Chief" loaned by "the Maestro" for parades in lieu of a 20K

My intense search for a baÃŸtuba has been temporarily halted by a personal/family matter

OK... you asked for it!

Conn 21J with upright bell, Meinl 25 BBb 4 rotor, Marzan BBb 4 piston (B & M model)**, an old German rotary flugelhorn, Couesnon Eb, Mirafone BBb 5V**, Mirafone BBb 4 rotor bell-front, Conn Eb stencil, a Conn/Olds Eb 'frankenhelicon', Carl Wunderlich BBb 4 rotor (B & S stencil), 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 commonly 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!)

PT6 CC with PT-50+ and -88+ mpc.
Hopefully soon a Conn 14k sousa.

Steve Inman · Post by **Steve Inman** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:11 am

CC -- Conn 56J Satin Silver
Eb -- Yamaha YEB-381 5V (Stofer customized 5th valve -- long whole step)
King 2280 Euph
Ibanez 506 6 string electric bass guitar (new acquisition -- if one plays tuba and guitar, then electric bass shouldn't be too hard ... should it?)
Taylor GAMC limited ed. acoustic guitar
Fender American Deluxe Strat electric guitar
Carvin AE-185 electric/acoustic guitar
Yamaha FG-160 acoustic guitar

[oh yeah ... mpcs: way too many. Probably need to post a FS list... Most often use Conn Helleberg, Bach 7 Megatone, Parke-Offenloch, Bach 12, Schilke Helleberg (small one) ]

(and a tip-o-the-hat to TubaTinker for the most impressive photo posted so far!)

Cheers,

Boosey & Hawkes 3+1 comper euph (Bowman B1)
Holton 345 BBb (still trying different mpcs). Playing this horn makes life feel good--no worries, mate!

I recently sold the Sear/dePrins small 4/4 BBb. Sweet horn.

Besson 983 /w either Sheridan PS-3P or Wicke 3XL
Miraphone 1258 with KosiKup 3
Conn 72H Bass Bone /w Bach 1G

The 72H is that horn that you sell/give away and wish you had back. This one actually came back.
