He used a different horn, something he picked up in college.

It's true. He got stuck with a horn that didn't work for his teacher. Poor guy.

A lot of that material was recorded in the basement "studio" of his home on the S side of Chicago which had a rather low ceiling and was not conducive to great recordings. While what Brian said about it being done with an instrument he picked up in "college" (Curtis) which was a reject from his teacher - Donatelli- is true for some things - a lot of the" practice" recordings would have been made using the Holton copy of No1.

A lot of factors would have influenced the sound quality. Still a shade better than a lot of todays Utube stuff. Not bad for somebody who did not even get a bachelors degree - let alone a DMA.

I think there is some confusion about which picture we are talking about....

I believe that some folks are thinking of the cover to the book: "Song and Wind", while I think that the OP is refering to the CD:

Who's confused????

Yes, OP seems to be referring to the one on the CD cover and the one on the cover of Song and Wind is the one his "college prof" rejected/ Show's what college profs know!

Well, it seems that we veered off the discussion of the picture on the CD cover, to an oblique discussion about the York....

Surely, I'm not very serious.

I had it in my head that it was more Stokowski than Donatelli who rejected it. Is that a mistake?

I seem to remember reading (in "Song and Wind"?) that, because of the set up of the instrument, the York did not fit Donatelli's...er...'circumference'.

That is correct. Plus, Donatelli was short and could not reach the mouthpiece.
