Does anyone know what equipment Wayne Jackson used?

I've checked this site:

https://trompemundo.wordpress.com/playerhorn-combinations/

which is great but no listing for Wayne Jackson.

Mostly, an ordinary Bach Strad 180ML / 37 with a Bach 10.5C mouthpiece. Most photos show him with a regular Bach mouthpiece, but sometimes it's a Megatone. He was a "Bach Artist."

He also played a French Besson. Sometimes he played an Olds Mendez 2 mouthpiece.

Late in his life, Conn-Selmer gave him a custom engraved presentation Bach Strad, and he played that horn sometimes, but his health was failing by then and I don't think he ever recorded with the presentation horn.

Bach or whatever, he seemed to improve every 60's recording he was ever on.

Thanks so much mm55 and rothman for your responses. Surprised about the 10.5C but he sounded so good...whatever works I guess is always the answer.

Sure thing theslawdawg...it is pretty informative. I know playing the right horn might not turn me into Lee Morgan but it is helpful as a guide.

I think it's the Yamaha "WB" (or, Wayne Bergeron, model) trumpet and the GR "Wayne Bergeron" model mouthpiece. So easy, even an old guy like me can recall his setup, haha!
