[Dixielandjazz] Re: Turk's Horn?

[briantowers]

Cary,

The photos do not indicate that his horns are particularly big, that I can
tell.   I think the truth lies more in his mouthpiece, his chops and a huge
lung capacity but I am only guessing.

Kid Ory's horns in photos always look like small bore to me and he had a
lovely wide tone too.
