I'll start.

These things make me very happy!

My Piano: American, built by Hobart & Cable (1960).

Yes, there was a thread about this, I saw it in off-topic, but it's ok.

Wow, that last two look really nice,

That's the organ I play, kinda poor (2 keyboards) but it sounds good, and loud when it has to smileyanti.gif (it's in the Cathedral, don't think I have it at home laugh.gif

This was done before... BUT, it's fun...so here we go again!

horns.jpg

1) Mid-60s Holton TR150. I use it as a baby-bass.

2) Various mouthpieces. I only use three regularly. Front, L-R: Bach 2G for bass; Denis Wick 6BS & sometimes the giant Schilke 51D for tenor. (Others behind include an old Conn 3, a cryptic "SL-J" a gold-plated Wick 5BS and a couple Remingtons.

3) My MAIN horn, mid-70s King 3B Silversonic bell paired with my 15-year-old 3B slide.

3.1) The brass bell on the floor is the original 3B bell - I stripped off the lacquer.

4) A Jupiter Valve trombone.... I since got rid of that one. Sounds okay, but is horribly out-of-tune.

5) A Selman (yes...that says Selman) - P.O.S. chinese alto trombone...has no tuning slide and is all but unusable...works well is free-improv settings.

(I am proud of you for having an alto though)

:laugh: I think it's a Mark VI !! (Sax players will get it)... seriously though, it`s a piece of junk.

Though, I am glad I can make you proud by owning an alto trombone... now, if only I could play the damn thing.
