On the subject of going back to smaller bores, Mr. Laskey (of mouthpiece fame) has another business going in Chicago with a very talented brass instrument repairman named Ron Pinc. They take new, or recent, Bach Strad trumpets, and reshape or replace parts to more nearly match the smaller playing characteristics of the early Bach made trumpets. The rebuild costs nearly as much as a new horn on top of the cost of the horn. I haven't checked recently, but not too long ago they had their hands full. Maybe there is something to this small bore thing after all. Jim Tyler
