Just wondering I presume that is nickel plate.

And the pink rim round the bell, your T-shirt?

BTW did you mean porn rather than pr0n - I can change that for you 🙂

Correct on all accounts! I wasn't sure that "porn" was allowed and I am fine either way. Now all you need is change the spelling of "prseume" 🙂

Yes it's allowed (I don't think the word in and of itself can be construed as offensive) and is much more helpful in search engines, but for us only in this context.

The pink bell caught me out at first I thought maybe a new kind of mute or else a sound enhancing device.

Mine's 1926 nickel plate straight neck. Wish it looked like that. Havn't got the bottle to strip it.

P.s looking at the bell brace I think mine has had smack on the bell 🙁

Opportunities for comment like that is why the mods deleted so many of my posts.

If you ever want to find a flaw just post a picture. It’s like the worst will show two seconds after you click reply

Yes, when I first looked at the picture I thought *** is that myself but then I am a glutton for accidental things like that and thought it was a very cool "neon" effect. And the best thing is I can change it if I want to green or blue by just changing my shirt!

Before the owner picked it up I did 2 short clips (sorry, didn't have time to really work on them, just a proof that the horn is actually working/playing)

Nice! I prefer the cut with the RPC. It sounds much cleaner IMHO.

Yes, indeed it has that airy, transparent tone quality and it plays effortlessly into the high notes, which is where the Morgan struggles.

A few more adjustments (the owner didn't have time to pick up the horn yet) and 3 different mouthpieces

1 Morgan c-melody
2 RPC* c-melody
3 RPC* short tenor
