Doc Severinsen Destino Trumpet
The Destino trumpet is a high end horn designed by Doc Severinsen. Each instrument is individually tested by Doc himself to make sure they maintain the high standards that have been set from the beginning. The Destino is a rare horn with only 4 or 5 in all of Canada. Jim plays on the Destino 5* with a 24k gold finish.
B & S Elaboration Flugelhorn
The B & S Elaboration flugelhorns are made in Germany by the Bayer & Sons company. The valves have unique extensions that allow for a more resonant and mellow tone. The finish is a satin lacquer that offers not only a warmth in sound but a different look as well. Jim has played on the Elaboration since they were sent to Canada in the early 2000’s.
The Wedge Mouthpiece
The Wedge is a completely new mouthpiece design with a more efficient rim contour providing greater comfort, increased range, better flexibility and endurance, less lip swelling, and improved articulation. The unique contour produces forward focused, closed aperture setup, resulting in a full, clear sound in all registers."
