 Bach 229 L C Trumpet Older Model began with common C Trumpet problems.  Overall a great trumpet with average compession, but very nice sound.  Andy requested more relaxed playabilty.  Ultimatley he wanted an H-Leadpipe he had located.  Very unique sound the H-Leadpipe-Tuning slide creates. The H-Pipe had a very unque sound.  I found the receiver setting was not what I would recommend.  But by request proceeded to continue with Installation.  Brace resdesign, reposition, align body for stress free mounting Redesign tuning slide to adapt to the new leadpipe requirements.   Many choices to find the right fit per instrument.  Each instrument I take of for in-depth modifications, means inspection, measure and design a plan for the best combination.

Andy Lott Shipped a few CTrumpets for analysis and modifications.    Design and develop improvement modification plan. This trumpet was in need of Bob Malone replacement Leadpipe and matching Tuning slide. Notice the different Bell taper. Both Bach C Trumpets on the right is Mt. Vernon and on Left Bach 229L.  But, the Mt. Vernon has been Converted into a Malone.Chicago Gen.2  Leadpipe and Main tuning slide. Next Andy wanted to have a custom receiver for even a more unique sound.  Converting a Mt. Vernon Trumpet is always a challenge.  Each one I have encountered in the past 25 years has been very unique.   Finding the sweet spot is very challenging.  The proper Gap - Setting - Brace points are when the horn livens up.  The sound will open up, Resonance, and overall ease of playability. Mounting has its own techniques that work best for me.  Ultimately, making very precise internal-external cuts create very balanced relaxed tone.   Body
