Several students ask me about the equipment I use. I believe equipment is a highly personal choice based on your anatomy/physiology, experience, and performance needs – so the items on the list below are not necessarily recommendations, but simply an answer to the question, “What equipment do you play?”
Trombones
Tenor
- 2 custom (.547″ & .508″) S.E. Shires Custom Trombones
- Bach “Corporation” 36B (.525″)
Bass
- Bach “Corporation” 50 – Brasslab (Chuck McAlexander) conversion with O.E. Thayer valves.
- King 7B
Alto
- Yamaha YSL-871
Euphonium
- Besson BE765
Mouthpieces
I use various Greg Black mouthpieces on all of my instruments.
Accessories
