My custom built Eclipse. completely modular, interchangeable leadpipe and bell. Built to be short but without extra loops in the wrap. I asked Leigh to make me an Equinox, but according to him the Equinox is a little "cornet-like" and he wanted to create something more trumpety. I trusted him, and when i got this for test playing I could'nt be more happy. This one is definitely a Trumpet! In real life it looks gorgeous and plays wonderfully. Plus, playing around with the bells, valve caps, and leadpipes is really fun.
Here with the Large Red bell and heavy valve caps:
..and here with the Solar bell:

That is one of the most interesting looking horns I've ever seen. I like the interchangeable bells too. So, how about a video comparison? Now that you've wowed us, we'd like more!

Not an expert enough to tell exactly what they are, but it's just the standard inlays that you currently get on any Eclipse.

On a bit of a forum break (sick and tired of a few anonymous posters stirring up the pot...) but I wanted to show these pics of Christian Scott's new Adams custom instrument. Pretty amazing (and wild too)!

Thanks for posting Trent. That sure looks like a mean machine....certainly eye candy! Have you had a blow on it?
