Agreed, Steve! (I like his '55 Mendez cornet just a little more, I think.)

There, that helps me ...

Thanks guys!
I'm lucky to have an understanding wife.
The Mendez came with the original factory card......Signed by Rafael! The 80 year old lady who sold it at a garage sale got him to sign it at a show in Ohio somewhere back in the 60s, he also signed the show program which was in the case....
Just to lighten things up, how about a nice bunny with a pancake on his head?

My 1960 Connstellation 38B

I was lucky enough to find this horn when someone mislabeled it as a 36B. I guess they never measured the bell

It is in great condition with the nickel plating almost perfect. (excuse my bad lighting) It is a perfect match with my Committee.

Here's one from the archives - a '55 Mt. Vernon Strad I used to own.

I got one of the new piccolos made by Hub van Laar. I think it looks as good as it plays...

The body is goldbrushed and the bell is goldplated (shiny).

I'm not sure I understand the last two posts, but if you really want to hear something sick, I bought the Mt. Vernon at an antique (mostly junk) auction for $60......

It wasn't very pretty, though - it had a beat up bell and most of the lacquer was gone. I had Southeastern Musical do a gentle repair and relacquer for about $250 (years ago), so I had all of $310 in it

Just to add some colour:

The first one is a student Zenith Lafleur I had for a while which I decided to try to strip the lacquer off. I did and it went terrible, the sound went really bad. I know that some do not believe that lacquer can change the sound, but trust me, the difference was huge!!! First it was a rather nice student trumpet but without lacquer it became a TSO. So I painted it green and then the sound went nice again.

The second one is a Jupiter 1010 Tribune with one regular bell and one Dizzy bell, which I had for a few weeks before one of the other trumpeters in the community band bought it for his son. Actually, can you get a better upgrade horn for a 13 or 14 year old boy who spends most of his days in the garage or on the enduro track?

And it is a nice player too! Especially with the turned bell, just that it cannot be stored in its case with that bell on.

Not clever, Jupiter!
