It varies so much - Yamaha for my cornet, trumpet and soprano, Bach for my flugelhorn, Conn for my daughter's trombone, Sterling for her baritone, round stamp sovereign for my tenor horn.

Oh, and Yamaha for my Clavinova!

A Steinway brass intrument, hand made over several years of hard work, sounds like a good idea actually! Makes me want one!

1) Alexander Brothers of Mainz (they did make two of them)

2) Paxman of London: they used to make an excellent 6 valve full double descant horn in Bb and F alto, but the extra valve means that you can get almost the same length as a normal F horn, so as to get the right sound in the low register. Also, the extra valve means that with the appropriate fingering and adjustment you can get better tuning than with a normal horn. When I win the lottery I shall try to track one down.

3) According to my son, King make the best jazz trombone (plain slide tenor, medium or narrow bore), and Vincent Bach the best orchestral trombone.

besson for euphonium (and practically anything else)
stradivarius for trumpet. I played my friend's stradivarius trumpet and it was so different to my student Yamaha. The high notes were so much easier and sounded much nicer too.

We used to have a Conn organ - I hated it - but that was more to do with having to learn to play it than the quality of the instrument
