      He's a gem!! Not only is he a great trumpeter, but he could imitate Louis Armstrong like no one else I ever seen/ heard. In the late 1980s PBS in New York had a special on Louis Armstrong and Byron Stripling was the interpreter of that music. It was like watching and listening to Louis Armstrong. His sound was amazing. I would put him ahead of many trumpeters that make the top 50 list.

      As a lead/Principle player, the Bach 3 was it for me. The Bach 1 was just too big for my amount of wind & endurance. My horn of choice was Benge.
