Years ago there was a Conn, I think its a 2B, posted for sale on Ebay. It was rose gold plated and had a beautiful, intricate engraving of Columbus landing in the new world. It was the most beautiful horn I have ever seen. I always have wondered who owns it now. _________________ Music is a fire in your belly, fighting to get out.

I hope it's okay to post photos of my Flugelhorn as well as my trumpet.

Since it looks so incredibly beautiful, I'm sure no one will object. |

Brian,
The flugelhorn is absolutely stunning. The detail of shiny, lacquered fittings resting against the patina bell and tubing provides a touch of elegance.
Yes, I'd say that it is quite alright to post a picture of it.
Warm regards,

Thank you, Grits. I took this photo early this year, just after I polished it up. It has no clear finish. It's raw brass and copper. I have no real idea how it turned those colors, but I suspect it happened as a result of the nano-coating I had applied to it and other elements like valve oil. I shine it up every year or so with 3M TarniSheild. _________________ Brian A. Douglas

I can't see your image, but would really like to. I use Imgur.com -- it's free to set up an account, and once you upload images, you can copy from a selection of codes and links to paste a viewable image directly in your post here. (I usually use photo editing software to scale the image file down to a more manageable sub-megabyte size before uploading to Imgur.)
Did you buy a Martin Committee? (I recall that you were researching these a while back.) |

My latest, fully restored by Robb Stewart, a ca. 1837 7-keyed Bb bugle by James Keat. These were the first incrementally chromatic brass instruments made for commercial sale in the Americas.
Keat taught Graves' staff, they taught EG Wright, Wright and Graves became Boston where JW York apprenticed. Foster Reynolds (HN White/Reynolds/FE Olds), TJ Getzen (Holton/Getzen) and others apprenticed at York. Vincent Bach and Renold Schilke came out of Holton. Benge apprenticed to Schilke while Rudy Muck expanded his training at Bach. Dom. Calicchio began at Rudy Muck, while Lou Duda and Zig Kanstul apprenticed to Benge. Kanstul also apprenticed formally to Reynolds at FE Olds, while John Duda (Calicchio & BAC) apprenticed to his father and later learned from Zig Kanstul.
What's missing? Martin/Conn/Buescher, which descends from Gene Dupont, a former Distin and Besson employee, Distin having worked at the original Martin, and likely steered JH Martin to learn from Dupont at Conn. But even then, a lot of the early craftsmen hired into this tree came from a background in the tree that starts with James Keat.

I thought you would enjoy that. It was a Christmas present from my mother. I made sure it was on my Amazon wish list. I got some more of the King vintage ads that I need to hang behind them as well. _________________ Current horns
