Alex...I use the Stage 1 California light with the Rose Brass bell. (squared tuning slide..I just like the slotting better with it). Mouthpieces...I use either a GR 66M w/T-72 backbore or to kick it up another notch, a 66Primal w/T-72. I continue to be amazed at the great blow and tuning of this trumpet. The sound? wow. Not only is it so fat an powerful, but playing "softly" is such a breeze (this from a former Bach Lg bore guy). I'm having a ball.
