The wife is playing a Besson 2-20 Baritone in the Concert and I will play either a Martin (Elkhart) with a recording bell (the swivel style) or a Lark.

Dr. Hank (Henry Meredith) has most of us playing some of his 4500 brass instruments, mostly to get them out of his house/garage/barn, and as we do the English Brass Band thing we have everyone on cornet, Eb trumpet, Ebhorn, Baritone, Euphonium, Eb Tuba and BBflat Tuba, trombone, and bass trombone. It's his band, and we usually just do 2 concerts a year.

My wife went to the faculty of music at UWO where he and his wife teach, and we hang out, she's chorale prof. but just got promoted to Dean.

I keep threatening to learn the trombone, I'm more suited to the foolery in that section........
