“RS Berkeley horns are truly the finest and most consistent modern instruments I’ve ever played. The high quality o craftsmanship is due to their commitment to create highly expressive professional instruments at reasonable prices, making them affordable for both students and professionals. Several of my faculty at NYU Jazz Studies perform on RS Berkeley horns and are happy to lend their support. I’m currently playing the Virtuoso tenor, sopranino, C and bass flutes and love them all”

RS Berkeley/Meisel is proud to announce the release of our Jascha Heifetz line of violins. Jascha Heifetz Violins From Meisel are authorized bench copies of the original violin of 1740 by Guiseppe Guarneri (del Gesu), which was obtained by Jascha Heifetz in 1922 and played by him for 65 years in concert and recording sessions. Jascha Heifetz Violins From Meisel feature beautifully figured European wood for the backs and sides, while the top wood is straight grained European spruce. The warm shaded varnish is highlighted by the glowing reflective ground beneath it. These models produce great tonal character and response. Each instrument has been hand crafted by an accomplished luthier with more than 10 years of expertise. Models JH500 Naturally seasoned Austrian or Italian spruce top Bosnian maple back High quality varnish JH600 Italian Alpine spruce top Well flamed Bosnian maple back Wood is naturally seasoned Boxwood fittings High quality varnish www.rsberkeley.com #rsberkeley #rsberkeleyartist #meisel #meiselviolin #heifetz #jaschaheifetz #violin #luthier #benchcopy #artistlife

The power a director has with their choice in rep should never be taken for granted. I’m selecting and preparing folders for all 11 combos and 3 big bands, that’s 42 charts! The end result will be worth it. #therealdeal #hitthegroundrunning #dukepearson #theoriginalKD #olivernelson #originaldixielandjazzband #ineedanassistant
