Pollard Trombone
In many of his recent recordings, Denson Paul Pollard has been playing some instrument with axial valves? Is this a new or older Courtois? or something different?

Re: Pollard Trombone
I'm 99% sure it's an Edwards

Re: Pollard Trombone
Its his old Edwards. He is no longer a Courtois artist.

Re: Pollard Trombone
It's a new Edwards, actually. One of the first cut bells Christan has made.

It's his old Edwards. Not new other than the bell

Re: Pollard Trombone
Well, a new bell at least! It definitely looked like a new valve section last time I saw him.

Re: Pollard Trombone
I got to talk to him a little bit about his new set up. He prefers to play on the edwards when he’s not doubling. Definitely the same valve section with his G slide having almost no pull

Re: Pollard Trombone
I just noticed this recently too. Looks like Paul is back on his old horn but with a cut bell. I have seen this before. It's not that Courtois isn't listening, it is buffet that is not listening. Then there is the split between "outfit" instruments versus custom manufacturing. I will say the European culture do not like thayers. Courtois has been the first to adapt hagmans, and rene Hagman's vibre- bell construction is evident on the Courtois new Yorker models. It is what it is. BTW, Courtois came up with the icon valve primarily because of lack of stock of Hagman's for production. The German team who produce Courtois today strive to make every part in house to control production.
