Thought I'd share a few of the latest basses I've built. Pictured are a butler bell independent, Courtois Bell (yellow brass) independent, and lastly, a 9" Gold George Roberts olds bell with Independent setup. All 3 built from scratch by me. I have one more to do with a gold bach 9.5" corp bell, then out of rotax valves, going to Meinlschmidt valves here on out.

Dang those look great. Your company made an Eb/Bb alto too, right?

Yes, but I think what you are thinking of are our Db Baritone Trombones

Sure! Conn 62h bell, Hagmanns, and a vintage Conn Tis slide. I was able to marry the taper from the bell to the crook correctly since the Conn bell ships untrimmed.

Can you talk a little about your B11 bass mouthpiece?
Would love to know some specs or just general info.

Sure can!
1.1" ID
1.58" OD
.310 throat
Fairly deep, hybrid cup (aspects of both a V and U shape)
Even wall thickness from the rim through the throat.
Theres a video on our fb page of Zach Litty tearing it up on one.

I really like this valve wrap. It seems like it retains open wrap qualities without sticking way out behind the horn. Plus it just kinda looks cool.

Thanks, actually just built that valve section for myself. That's a 9" George Roberts bell, .562 rotax valves, oversized tuning slide crooks (.593) billet gooseneck, cnc'd hardware, bubinga wood thumb rest, and single radius gold brass tuning slide. The throw on the F valve is short, and the G paddle hardly has to move at all.
It plays phenomenal, I don't know why I didn't built one for myself sooner. That wrap was just from messing around til I got to something that interested me. Best part is evenything just plays very even, no notes are distinguishable as being with or without a valve. As a result, I've been spending a ton of time getting very comfortable with alternate positions, especially with the G valve.

Beautiful craftsmanship. How is the weight distribution? Were there any thoughts on a Rath-type support added to the descending tubing of the F-attachment (as found on some contras). It'd be tough to add a bullet brace/ax handle to that configuration.
