Trumpet gear….
I play a Yamaha YTR-8340EM Trumpet and a lacquer B&S Flugelhorn
I play custom mouthpieces for both trumpet and flugelhorn made by Greg Black (see link to his website on the Links page).  Check out the "QT5" custom lead trumpet 
mouthpiece made by Greg Black designed by Alan Quinn and trumpet great Dave Trigg.  
The cost of this mouthpiece is $150.00. Please e-mail or call Alan for information about getting your copy.
