[Dixielandjazz] RE: cornets

[Bob Romans]

Well put, Paul! I've got Tommy Loy's Pujé, and after Bob Sakoi played it, he
bought one, and the word is being spread! The horn really SPEAKS when you
push it a little!
BTW! To make that é, Tommy taught me to hold ALT, then type 130 on the
number keyboard on the far right! It works!
Got to go practice on my Pujé!
Thanks, Paul!
Bob

I'm surprised that Bob Romans hasn't already said this, but you cornet fans
might want to take a close look at a Puje trumpet. It has a Shepherd's crook
bell and is a somewhat odd-looking beast, not a typical trumpet but not
really a cornet either. It has a fat, warm low register sound but it can
still command attention if you push it.

There have been about a half-dozen of these purchased in the Sacramento area
in the last year, with lots of enthusiastic comments from the "Gee, what is
that thing and can I try it?" crowd. And a hand-made horn for $850 ain't
such a bad deal either.

Who, for the good of all, doesn't play his Puje in public.
