I see you went to the University of Wyoming. So did I back in the 70s. I started on a Reynolds Contempora bass trombone and then moved to a King Duo Gravis (6B) in 1976. The Duo Gravis served me well (jazz, orchestra, pit, studio) until 2010, when I stopped playing. From 1970 to 2010, I always used the Bach 1.5G mouthpiece and had great flexibility from pedal D to Bb above the staff.
@@michaelquillen2679 nice to meet another alum. The duo Gravis does work better with smaller pieces, I used one on mine when I started out in high school.
@@AidanRitchie in 1970, the 1.5G was the largest that Vincent Bach made. Over the years, I tried others, but could not obtain the wide range of flexibility as I mentioned. Also, the bigger mouthpieces cut into my durability...I couldn't stay above tuning Bb that long without fatigue. Having played several gigs that required a wide range (i.e., with Bobby Vinton's '81 tour) the 1.5G allowed me to be a versatile player instead of only hanging out in the "gutter."
I liked the sound of this bass trombone. It might be missed. If you trade
That opening though
