Here is a list of all the instruments I play or want to play.  Some will have pictures.

bullet

King 3B Silversonic- This in my main horn.  I play it in wind ensemble, jazz band, St. Paul Praise Band, and any other non-potentially dangerous situations.

"Rustic" Yamaha YSL-354- A really bad horn.  I play this in marching band, pep band and any other potentially harmful situations.  I have spitefully dubbed it the "Cornu Merdae", Latin for "Crap Horn".  

bullet

Antique (1880-1900, by my unreliable estimate) V.F. Cerveny valve trombone- This is a really nifty horn.  It has four valves, and what I call a partially concial design. It is more concial than a standard trombone, but less concial than other brass instruments like French horns and trumpets.  The manufacturer is based in the now Czech Republic, then  Czechoslovakia.  They built the first successful BB-flat tuba, and are still known for making great valved instruments to this day.

bullet

Recorders- I play descant and tenor recorder, mostly in Praise Band.  I want to find a bass and possibly a contrabass recorder, and have ambitions of arranging "Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" by J.S. Bach for a recorder ensemble (probably either a quartet or quintet).

bullet

Late 60's Conn Director trumpet- I don't play it in any sort of band, nor do I play it very well.  I simply play it for my own amusement.

bullet

Baritone- I play baritone every now and then.  I double on it in pep band often enough.  I don't own a baritone, but am looking for a cheep one.

bullet

Bass Trombone- I played a beautiful Conn 88-H

Now for the instruments I want to play:

bullet

The Conn 88H-CL- This is only the greatest trombone ever made.  It is a large bore symphony trombone with the patented CL-2000 rotor.  It was designed by Christian Lindberg's father-in-law from a set of specifications written by the great Lindberg himself.  I thought I would get it before the beginning of the school year, but my mom keeps putting it off, and now seems like she doesn't want to deal with it until after Christmas, but I hope it will happen sooner than that.

bullet

Bassoon- I'm not sure what possesses me to want to learn bassoon, but I think it would be cool.

bullet

French horn- I think it would be a nice challenge to learn French horn.
