Any horns I have for Sale: trumpetherald.com/marketplace.php?own=15921
I use 7 mouthpieces; 1 legit, 3 Trumpet/Flugel, and 2 commercial pieces. Played in order:
Reeves 42B, Reeves C2J, GR64FD, Trent Austin's TA/TF, GR64MB, GR64MS, and lastly Warburton's 6MC... So, you'll hear this horn sound as dark and creamy as possible - and you can also get an idea how it'll sound as the lead horn in a Big Band. Lastly, I compare it to a Bach Strad 18037 (with MK Radial Nickel-Silver tuning slide), and a Commercial Bach LT1901B. For the really upper high range, check out the Horntrader's review:

Great aftermarket slides by M/K drawing... https://www.mkdrawing.com/
Well, youll get to decide for yourself if they work. :) I believe there IS a difference - but it is subtle; overtones become different with each metal, perhaps more so than general tone. It takes a good ear to perceive the difference and, as seems so often the case, microphones and speakers dont always tell the whole tale. Ill first use the standard Bach D slide that came with this Strad (which is a standard weight 43 bell, Sterling Silver Plus bell. Second, I use a D-shaped (like the original Bach) Nickel-Silver tuning slide (all the aftermarket slides are by MK), then a dark Bronze radial slide, and lastly a Square Sterling Silver slide. I then use the Nickel-Silver slide with a great ACB Al Cass 1-27 mouthpiece, the Bronze slide with a Reeves C2J (a great trumpet/flugel piece), and lastly I use the square Sterling Silver slide with a Reeves 42C (a great play off of Bachs 7B mouthpiece [Ive read that Doc Severinsen really likes this mouthpiece with a 5ish Bach rim]). Enjoy! :)
