Anyone know what equipment Chris Barber was playing on? I’ve been hooked on his traditional playing for years, and would love to know what mpc/horns he’d played.

Perhaps some of our British friends know?

Thanks, all!

Was that a later change, Fidbone?

In some of the videos on YouTube, it looks like he may be on some flavor of Conn.

Chris had a very long career, and if you search the photos he played all sorts of makes over the years, the last few years he hardly played leaving it to the bone player who’s name escapes me at present, when I remember he is on Facebook and will answer all your questions on Chris’s gear.
