	I play on the outstanding trumpets of Hub van Laar. Hub is a great guy and understands the demands of the modern trumpetplayer. Hub's trumpets are eas(y)ier to play, have great sound and intonation and, they look and feel good, too (she's daily in my hands, don't forget!!). I'm using the model "Oiram" trumpet and flugelhorn for my jazz solowork and a modified regular B1 for my section- and leadwork in the superb WDR Bigband and studio. I think experimenting with heavier bottom-valvecaps and/or mouthpieces can make a big improvement in your feel of playing and projection. Hub, thanks! I still love the sound of the good old Bach mouth- pieces and play their copies made by Kanstul. For jazzsolos: 7C cup and 10 backbore and for my heavier section- and leadwork: 7E cup and SA (Schilke) backbore. I teach jazz- and leadtrumpet at the Maastricht Conservatory, The Netherlands.
