He’s an official Bach artist as of recently. Bach with greenhoe valves, or maybe he could develop a new model with bach, finally some good stock rotors on a 50? That new conn valve is really nice

Old Greenhoe valve set, couple different bells. He uses a Mt Vernon gold brass bell most of the time. Standard 50 slide, German custom mouthpiece.

Mount Vernon 50G Bell with Greenhoe valves from the 90s/2000s Not sure if there is anything unique about his slide, but he does play on Hammond mouthpieces from time to time.

No, he plays a more modern yellow brass 50 bell most of the time.

He's been playing a Breslmair mouthpiece for a number of years.

You should hear him on his single valve Conn... Wowsers

I have his Melodrama album. Amazing stuff. When I want to hear the ideal bass trombone sound, I play that recording. I think he'd sound good on anything.

Certainly could not agree more!
