My primary horn is my King 603 cornet. That may change, waiting on the arrival of a Yamaha 2300 Shephards crook cornet.
I am a comeback player, have been back for about two months. Forgot how picky I am on equipment, mutes, music instruction books.
Trying very hard to be more patience this time and focus on playing not equipment.

My main horn for the past 17 years has been my gold plated, Kanstul-built Destino 5*.
I have tried just about every other trumpet during that time period, including all the custom-built and boutique instruments and nothing has come close. Nothing.
The Kansul 3* trumpets I have owned and played were also lifetime instruments, and would be my choice if I didn’t have my 5*.
My feeling is that the tweaking performed by Byron Autrey on the instruments prior to sale changed an excellent trumpet into amazing one.
And the individual play testing and approval of each instrument by Doc Severinsen didn’t hurt either! |

My main horn is now the YTR 8310Z III, or if you wish the latest Shew.
I can play it more refined than the YTR 8335 LAS II, which actually can get a little big on the last set of the evening. As I play mostly miked in funk bands I like being able to back off and enjoy the blow.
I still use the LA for big band as it carries a little more punch.

My main horn is currently an LA Benge 2x. I love the easy blow and loose slotting it provides. The horn can sizzle so easily and loves to sit in the upper register with a tiny mouthpiece. Just got a 1962 Olds Super for something a little different but I think my Benge is still the favorite
