  • Sorry y’all, I meant to switch this video to “public” yesterday and totally dropped the ball! Hope you enjoy a more lax Spotlight today and make sure to check out the links in the video description!
  • You always do an amazing job showcasing equipment you somehow come by

    I bought a Wurlitzer Valve Trombone for… reasons… and it came with a mouthpiece that was definitely brass underneath the badly worn plating. I somehow managed to find an exact match on eBay with intact plating. Oh yeah, there’s no brand info on either mouthpiece. And yeah, I play trumpet, not trombone.
  • Dont feel so pressured Sam, you always bring great content regardless of the topic, keep up the awesome work🎉
  • @metronoth
    You should do an instrument collection video. I’m curious about everything in your collection
  • @harleyzeth
    Subject A may have some potential in an older model alto trombone. I'm currently scheming a design for a soprano trombone with a larger bore and F trigger, with a receiver that takes something like a tenor horn mouthpiece. I may end up making a mouthpiece that ends up looking like Subject A.
  • @KerryLorah
    Neill Sanders trumpet mouthpieces have a similar rim that has a slant inward at the cup.

    You coming to “horn club” tomorrow (Tuesday)? 6:30pm, Audobon Park. I’ve got an old trombone sitting in a closet I can give you if you want it. I think it’s maybe a Conn Director. The slides need straightening. I once thought I would learn trombone, but no more. lmk. I also have a random gold plated tuba mouthpiece lying around somewhere I grabbed long ago at a garage sale for like $5. I could donate it to GU if it is a nice, standard size, not sure.
