Hi Matthew, sorry for the belated response and thank you for your question. As a Yamaha Performing Artist, I play the Custom 895EN designed by Eijiro Nakagawa along with a custom made carbon fiber outer slide by David Butler of Dallas, TX. Michael Dease inspired me to get my bell section outfitted as a detachable system for ease when flying to and from gigs. Lastly, I play the Conn 3 mouthpiece as I am continually inspired by Vincent Gardner who plays the same model. I hope this answers your question, and Merry Christmas!🙏
