The current models have only 1 thing in common with the famous makes (3
valves)
I'm not saying that some people don't like the new ones. However; if you
are looking for a real one it needs to be 40+ years old.

I would be interested in how this horn got its name. If anyone knows, please
hold forth....
If you are looking for a darker sound, the mouthpiece and how you form the
embochure and oral cavity have more to do with it than horn make/model. IMHO,
at least.

The Committee came is at least two models, a DeLuxe which had nickel silver
slides, and the standard; and it came in at least three different bores. What
Miles played, I couldn't tell you.
>I would be interested in how this horn got its name.
It was designed by a...Committee.
The committee included Renold Schilke, I believe, and I'm guessing his
contribution was the reverse leadpipe. I also understood that Vincent Bach and
Elden Benge were on the committee, but I've never seen anything very
authoritative. Everybody seems to be dead.

When Martin closed up shop (sometime in the 60s?), Holton bought the tradenames
and tooling, though they didn't put it into production for many years.
However, when Miles wanted a new horn, they used the old tooling and made him
one. I've always thought that was cool.
Other cool things Holton has done:
--Made Don Ellis his quarter tone trumpets; and
--Make the C150 pocket cornet which is maybe the coolest of the pocket
instruments.

So many trumpets, so little cash...

Sorry to break the following news to you Michael, but Severinson is no
longer playing Scodwell's trumpets, infact, the new Severinson Getzen
is due for release in September.
Sincerely,

Actually, Miles' horn is locked in a glass case in the music building at my
school. Let me take a look at it tonight, and I'll post a description.

Well, scratch that! It's not there anymore. It was here on as a temporary
anyway. Sorry! I do remember that it was a very pitted looking lacquered
horn, with Martin Committee clearly across the bell. No third valve slide
ring.

If you're interested, respond back, and I'll get you the details. (I think
he wants around $800-900 for it.)
