Soprano BOC

[WhatSharp?]

Sorry for doing this folks but this is really bugging me.

I was on the Normans website recently working out the insurance for my instrument (the case was a shocker £215!), anyway I noticed the picture of a Schilke Sop (alledgedly) and noticed it has a trigger on the third valve!, mine doesn't so either Schilke have added one (and sold out! ), or Normans are showing the wrong picture!

Can anyone shed any light on this one?

I can't say if Schilkes now have triggers, but they're also using the same photo for the Yamaha sop. All the photos on that site are screwed up! :!:

well, the 3 valves slides have got better coz mines Rubbish but ive never seen one with a trigger :?

 

[Soppy]

My Shilke has just got a slide, no trigger!

 

[Mike Saville]

. . you mean it's a trombone?

Have to admit mine sticks on occasion (and me 3rd slide) :wink: but the valves are a MASSIVE improvement over my old sovereign valves (I did spend a month playing with springs in the bottom to stop them sticking!).

I think Normans need to sort their web-site out.

(Oh and someone tell Mr Schilke that £215 is WAY too much to charge for a case, especially when its not supplied with the instrument!, luckily I got mine second hand with a case and Beryllium bell ... ).

Perhaps we ought to have a BOC Sop section on the forum!

Schilke slide

I think it is about time the schilke did have triggers applied. I am thinking of having mine customised.

Regards to all fellow sop players - even 'ickle' ones!!

£215 would be OK if it was a half decent case but mouthpieces fall all over the place and you can't fit anything else in apart from the cornet itself. I swapped mine for one of the ruck sack type gig bag, the ribbing I get for carrying it is worth being able to get everything I need in one case!

I use a triple gig bag. That way I can get mutes music and everything in. Also if need be I can get the Bb in there too.

Hmmm...Very Interesting... :wink:

You wouldn't need to take the music home if you were any good, hmph!

I was VERY good and I used to take the music home!!!
I seem to remember Phil McCann, Sandy Smith, Morgan Griffiths etc. taking their music home too

Yeah. Have a good rummage around in the bottom of your 'Triple gig bag', you might find a couple of wayward accidentals, i.e. #'s!
