Any truth to this? I heard from someone that Laskey will be making his own trumpets and the conversions will be no more. Is there really a two year wait for one of these things right now. Someone set the record straight. I have heard great things about them.

Hey, I'll do some asking around. My teacher plays a Laskey/Bach C trumpet and loves it. I have played it, and it is by far the best Bach I have played; the sound just leaps out of the horn with a huge resonant core.
My teacher has a close relationship with Scott Laskey, so I will see if I can get some inside information.

It is true, Scott has planned to do this for quite some time. Unfortunately, he is really bogged down with just getting his mouthpiece orders out - and Ron is super busy doing repair work. This is why the conversion takes so long. Who knows when this dream will come to fruition?
Contact Scott directly for more info.

I talked to Scott last week. Yes, he and Ron are getting ready to make their own horns; 1 Bb trumpet and 1 C trumpet.
As was prefiously mentioned, both of them are very busy with other work, so this could take a while. They are also still getting suppliers lined up.
If the horns play at least as good as my Bach/Laskey C, they will have more orders than they can handle.

I talked to Scott a couple of years ago about these plans. Don't quote me (it was a long time ago), but at that time I think he wanted to design a piston trumpet that had the sound quality of a rotary (vindabona?) I don't have any idea if that's still true. Can't wait to see what he & Ron finally do produce.

Go to Scott's web site and click on "Conversions". He gives a great description of how he started, with George Vosburgh, and what he was after as far as sound, etc...... www.laskey.comMike |

Is very interesting what you mentioned about the
piston trumpet sounding as a rotary.
I have a few ideas.
The main is to use a flug type short leadpipe entering directly to valve block of a M bore ( .441 or .453 ).
Leadpipe like the Trombone of the Edwards trp.
that is a leadpipe inside a tubing.
Another thing ( but I think not compulsory ) is to
have a short piston ( like the Bauernfeind pistons).
That is the less important think
Other thing ( not compulsory also ) could be the
rather conic tubing.
The rest of the trp. could be a normal trumpet, I would
even would like a Bach Bell and despite what I have said a normal tubing could work.
Hmmm... perhaps some day I will ask some one to
build this thing to me considering that I have played
rotaries and never found this sensations in a piston
trumpet.
