Most of my horns are "stock" with a few alterations. Chuck McAlexander of the Brass Lab did a great job on my 42B, opening up the wrap, making me some custom, interchangeable lead pipes and adding a Thayer valve. He also replaced the bell on my 503BL with a 10" bell crafted by Steve Shires. Both Chuck and Steve are terrific craftsmen and did a great job improving already great horns. 

As a doubler who performs in many different situations and styles,  I have had to amass a collection of horns that will provide me the options that my career requires.
