OK, nobody seems to have started a thread on what we play (there used to be a couple kicking about in the P&P, but nothing in here!) so I thought it might be fun to start one for the non guitarists (they have their own thread! wink)

So, sign in with instrument(s) preferably with pics! thumbup

I play Horn - my weapon of choice is an Alexander Mod.103 double (late 70s/early 80s vintage) - mine was picked out from the factory by a pro and I was lucky enough to pick it up when he had a large tax bill wink It's had various things done to it over the years, had a new leadpipe, bell, and relacquer at Paxmans about 5 years ago. Plays beautifully, lovely sound, bang in tune, and lovely to look at too. The very last of my posessions that I would ever sell.

obligatory arty pic wink


I also have an old Lidl double horn which is not in the best of health, and a piston valved single F horn from the early 20th C.

On the lookout for a Bb/F alto horn to complement the Alex, either another Alex (107) or maybe a Paxman.

I also play Piano (lapsed as I currently don't have one frown), and have a long standing desire to learn the guitar.

ETA: I also have a selection of other random brass instruments kicking about - a couple of trumpets, a bass trombone, and I also appear to have acquired a euphonium from somewhere...
