Episode 124: B.A.C. Horns (Mike Corrigan and Dave Joyce)
Mike Corrigan is a Master Craftsman, trained at Red Wing and a former apprentice of Steve Shires. He really has a passion for restoring/modifying/building trombones. It’s very inspiring to talk with someone with such knowledge and passion. I thank Dave Joyce for setting up this iChat visit wherein Mike enlightens me on lots of topics!
He is presently starting a new line of small-bore “commercial” trombones. You may have noticed the very unique trombone that Elliot Mason’s been playing lately…..that’s Mike’s creation.
Some of the innovations and features he’s adding to these horns I found most fascinating. I know you’ll enjoy meeting him! I sure did. Thanks so much, Dave and Mike. Great to meet you and I can’t wait to visit the shop in KC.
You can visit their shop on the Web, too, to learn more:
