Musical Bio | Current Projects | Gear | Discography | Hire Me

This is not an exhaustive list of the musical instruments and gear I own, but it's the main stuff that I would recommend for use to anybody interested in my opinions.

Brass

Cornet: Besson Sovereign 927 (small bore)
Sparx 3 mouthpiece

Flugelhorn: Kanstul Signature Series ZKF 1525
Sparx 3 DV FL mouthpiece

Trumpet: Bach Stradivarius Model 72
Sparx 4C (cornet) mouthpiece with a Bach mouthpiece adapter
I plan to purchse a Sparx 3C Trumpet mouthpiece soon.

Mutes: I have a bunch of cornet/trumpet mutes. My favourites are the Tom Crown straight mute, Tom Crown cup mute, and Jo-Ral bubble (Harmon) mute... although the latter refuses to fit in my cornet.

Mouthpieces: I now play Sparx Mouthpieces as exclusively as I can. I used to play Denis Wick mouthpieces, which I still really respect, but find I literally cannot play them anymore after playing Sparx for a number of years now. And honestly, I have no reason to switch back!
