In the documentary, Trying To Get Good, he plays a large bore Strad and, I think, a 10 1/2C mouthpiece. In the 50s and 60s he said that he and Chet Baker played Bach 6C mouthpieces.

Last time I spoke with him he was playing a Bach Stradivarius custom made Large Bore with the largest bell they made. But I heard he was now playing a Stomvi. Mouthpiece is a Bach 10 1/2 C

In the past, he played on a large diameter bell horn which you can see on the cover of one of his more recent CDs.
Several months ago, I saw him playing a horn at Steamers in Fullerton, Calif. with a standard size diameter bell.
I don't know if it was a Stomvi or not.

P.S. I will say that after seeing him play live, I was fairly sure the earlier rumors of his death were highly exaggerated...

Until recently, there was a YouTube video of Jack Sheldon playing with Harry James on the Merv Griffin Show (early 1970s?) Jack was playing a Conn Connstellation (which was unmistakable because of the close ups.) Too bad that video was taken down because of copyright regulations. Jack is shown playing a Connstellation on the album cover of "Playin' It Straight."
