AboutMike Pawul Expertise I am familiar with most trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns. I can answer most questions about playing and musicality. Best of all, if I can't answer it directly I play regularly in five bands and have several "old timers" that are familiar with most things that I am not. I collect, repair, and refinish old horns and have sold over 350 with more than 230 on ebay
Experience I have played since 1965 and studied with many directors and trumpeters. I have been collecting since 2002 and have over 150 horns in my personal collection. I have done repair and refinsh since 2003 and have done over 500 horns.
Organizations Kosair Shrine Brass Band and Dance Band, The Notables, The Mello Tones, Bourbon City Brass Band,

Education/Credentials I played at Brunswick High School. I played through college and have a BS in Business Administration from Trinity College.
Awards and Honors Without being vain, numerous awards and have played in several honor bands.
Mike,
I recently lost the lowe valve cape for my 1952 Henri Selmer trumpet - this cap has the threads on the outside of the cap, not the inside.
Where can I find a replacement. Gold or silver - makes no difference. I', a professional musician and not inclined to vanity.
Thanks in advance,

Answer Arden, Most of the big repair shops should have one. Rich Ita is in your area and should be able to get you one. Here is his website: http://www.brassinstrumentworkshop.com/
On a side note, we need more players like you that aren't prone to vanity. Most players would want it as a perfect match so I give you kudos!
