Has anybody played on this combination?
Is the gold brass bell to counteract the brightness of the 43 bell and the reverse leadpipe to open up the sound? |

I have one of these currently from an old friend's collection who died a while back. My opinion...the horn has a more "lush" quality than the yellow brass bell and the reversed pipe set-up does indeed give it a comfortable feel without being too open.

Thanks Tony for your reply. I have found one in pawn shop and tried it. I have never been a big fan of reversed leadpipes but the 25LR worked well in this configuration. Apart from the horn hadn't been cleaned for a while with deposits in the leadpipe I was impressed by the projection and how the sound held together at the dynamic extremities. The response was immediate and the sound seemed to project well beyond the bell. |

very nice horn. 43 bell is not brighter than a 37 IMO though it is warmer and easier to play. the reversed pipe helps open up the upper register. the gold brass bell should darker up the sound a bit. |

One of my horns has a 43G bell. A slightly warmer sound than yellow brass but mainly I liked the look of the gold brass. _________________ Bill Siegfried
