I discovered Carol Brass after my one-of-one, large-bore Calicchio was stolen. What is the closest thing I’m going to find to replace my Calicchio? His answer was simple: That’s easy-Carol Brass. I took his advice. I had Carol Brass build me a custom horn, received it about six weeks later, and never looked back. It gave me everything I could ask for and was absolutely a suitable replacement for my Calicchio. That experience made me a believer in these horns. This Dizzy tribute is something special: huge bore, distinctive upturned bell, beautiful silver and black-nickel finish, and the kind of performance that makes it much more than a collector’s piece. It’s a lead player’s horn-and it knows it.
