@TheIrishMikeB the L means it has a tuning bell

Im envious of that autograph

I've got a question for you folks about the Schilke B6L that is mentioned in posts here. I see a B6 listed in the current Schilke catalog but nothing with the "L" suffix. What did that stand for and how is it different from the current B6? I realize that the coding was that "B" indicated a B flat trumpet and the "6" indicated bore size. If anyone can help explain the "L" designation, I'd appreciate it.

@chasefreak - I have the same trumpet that I bought right around 1975

This is directly from the album, no concert or live recording. Yes, Lynn did play briefly with him, can you imagine double B's flying all over the place, WOW!

Didn't know he used a 26 throat. Did he?
And for anyone else that doesn't get the 6A4a and the Chase mouthpiece difference, the undercut was like a Jet-Tone. It dipped in then hit the cup to the throat. Or just a low alpha angle. More chop room but still get the benefits he got by using a small mouthpiece. I think...

No problem.

Well, thanks for sharing.

Bill did not play a stock 6A4a-his had a rim undercut on it (more room under the rim bite) and a #26 throat



sends chills down my spine every time

His very last statement of this solo is different than on the original album, I wonder why that is... He was so amazing, the way he pastes that double a(concert) and it's like lightning coming out of the sky, and then he hits it two more times before he's through, he was trulyone of the best, i understand lynn nicholson played with chase around 1973 and 74, he feels lucky because he could have been on the doomed flight as well..
