parrotpaul Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I presently use an Olds Ultratone piston/rotary soprano that cost me $125. Got it from one of the board members/corpsman who plays with the Kingsmen AC. He also let me use a two piston horn. It didn't take long before I went back to the Ultratone...bigger, brassier, easier to play (people argue with me on this issue, but the two piston horn felt like someone was blowing back at me through the other end), and for some reason...tubing perhaps...the two piston horn collects more spit, and it is hard to get all of it out of the horn. The Ultratone piston/rotary soprano is a terrific instrument to play...many say it is a real beast, but I find it to be comfortable and LOUD!!!! The chrome is thick, and the parts work beautifully. I just recently painted the case. See the avatar. Kingsmen in August 2007.....Pasadena....Be there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
