As you may know my fiancé and I are getting married on the 23 of December. I had not planned on playing at my own wedding however, I feel I have something very special to share with others, I will be playing Ave Maria on my new Las Vegas [Standard Model Trumpet]. I have more faith in that trumpet than any horn I have ever owned.  I really cannot comprehend how you can build a horn whose intonation is absolutely impeccable whether I am playing Mezzo Piano or full Fortisimo. She is so versatile too. I can part sax players hair with a shallow mouthpiece or have honey pour from the bell with a deeper cup and a more open back bore. Thank you for your genius and a wonderfully playing trumpet.
