I was recently reminded of the test I performed comparing our nickel plated pistons to monel. Considering it has been over 20 years since the results were first published, I thought a little "Throwback Thursday" action was in order.

I suppose a better title would be “Us vs. Them”. Regardless, one of our proudest accomplishments is the reputation we’ve earned for having such great valves. Still, we’re asked why we use nickel plated pistons. Why not follow everyone else...

A fresh batch of factory direct B Stock and Show/Demo instruments just went live on our company Reverb shop. If you are in the US and looking for a deal on a trumpet, flugelhorn, or trombone take a look.

Things are coming along nicely. So close. Just a few small tweaks left before we can move on from testing to a production model.

Not every new thing works. But every now and then it hits just right. If you’re doing it right, you never stop pushing.

We are currently experiencing a blizzard in Elkhorn and the company is closed for the day. March in Wisconsin is something else.

I guess that ground hog was on to something.
