Here is Charley Davis at Pro Winds in Bloomington, Indiana. He is holding what has been coined a Bachophone, a horn designed to double as an anchor. As you can see from the expression on Charley's face, this was his least favorite horn in the shop.

Although the counter is about to buckle under the weight of this trumpet/boat anchor, it doesn't distract from the impressive display of Charley Davis mutes and valve oil.

This is the special gold-plated trumpet presented by the Bach/Selmer Company as a birthday gift to Mr. Adam.
