Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2018 12:35 pm Post subject: Who made Bush Mouthpieces? |
|
|
I know that Irving Bush had a relationship with Benge and Purviance in L.A.. Bush certainly designed his mouthpieces but I doubt that he manufactured them.
Does anybody, who agrees with this premise, know the answer?

For a long time they were made by Larry Frank in a garage. Then it was given to Kanstul. And now I believe Jim New makes them _________________ Zony |

That's a very interesting bit of history but is there anything on it that says that Jim New makes the mouthpieces vs. just selling then? (Tim's post notwithstanding.) _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

I always meant to research thru the old copies of that publication when I was in LA but sadly...never got around to it.
Oh well! |
Hilarious!! they got away with some good stuff back then. Like Mae West: "Is that a pistol in your pocket or you just glad to
see me?" Got past the censors. Just saying. |

Thanks, Tim. I was just addressing that ad as a stand-alone. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Interesting topic. I found his mpc information on the Burbank trumpets webpage several months ago and I stole Irving's quote on the personality of a trumpet player for my own profile. I don't think there has ever been anything more truthfully spoken about it! The first time I read, when I got to the end of the quote I said to myself, "Cue the Basil Poledouris soundtrack from Conan the Barbarian." I think behind the look of the principle trumpet in an orchestra is the personality of an ax and sword wielding warrior. I may be way off base, but that has always been my take on the trumpet player's mindset. _________________ "There are two sides to a trumpeter's personality,
there is one that lives to lay waste to woodwinds and strings, leaving them lie blue and lifeless along a swath of destruction that is a
trumpeter's fury-then there is the dark side!" Irving Bush |
