The trumpet has gained the name "Steve" and the second
name "Laurie". This is because it is named after my brass
teacher (who filled in my application for the RNCM with the
opening statement of "I have been Russell's trumpet now for
over 9 years" missing out the key word "teacher"!) and the
second name was earned from my Auntie Mamie (Laurie) who
bought it for me as a living inheritance - what a genius
idea. I've had so much enjoyment out of it over the last 11
years (or more!) and it has become the standard by which I
expect all instruments to perform to, although few have
come close.
