Simone Mantia Met section equipment

[GabrielRice]

When I studied with Per Brevig starting in 1987, he was playing an 88H most of the time (with a Doug Elliott mouthpiece). He kept a new one (Eastlake I guess) at Oberlin and said he liked it OK - much closer to his Elkharts. But when he played the Hindemith Sonata and Arne Nordheim's Hunting of the Snark on a trombone choir concert my first year, he used a flat-wrap Conn and sounded incredible. I used to have a recording of that concert - no idea what happened to it.
