EQUIPMENT MICHAELA
trumpet & flugelhorn: My first trumpet I played was a Getzen, which I replaced by a Benge, which I replaced by a Conn Constellation (I am a big Chet Baker admirer, and he played this horn for eternities). After I graduated, I checked a lot of horns, all the big names like Bach and Yamaha and Schilke, but finally decided to buy a JBS trumpet and a JBS flugelhorn (a small company from Germany, producing only handcrafted instruments). I like them so much, that I still play them.
mouthpieces: I also play JBS mouthpieces, for both instruments the largest models they offer to help me to get a warm sound.
mics: On stage I use a EV RE 20 (Electrovoice) for the horns and a Shure Beta 87a for the vocals. I also have a LCM 77 from SD Systems (to clipp on the trumpet) for funky or pop bands.
