						 Horns: 
							Lew Soloff plays exclusively on   Bb Trumpets made by Blessing, a division of Verne Q. Powell Flutes 
						Other Instruments: 
									French Besson vintage Flugle 
								Schilke P5-4 Piccolo Trumpet (Gold plated) 
						Mouthpieces: 
								
									Bach Mt. Vernon 1/4C 
								
									For most improv and also recording work that doesn't go into the extreme high register. I also use this mouthpiece for playing C trumpet 
						Monette Custom 
							
								(a copy of a Schilke mouthpiece that I lost) 
						Lavscy Custom 
							(also a copy of a Schilke mouthpiece that I lost) 
									For lead work and soloing when I want to play high and long like over a big band or a loud electric gig. I sometimes use it because I prefer the brighter sound for the style of the music played. The lost Schilke was called Soloff 1. The closest stock mouthpiece to it that I know of is probably a Schilke 14A4A. 
						Marcinkiewicz 
							E12.4 with a 30 throat 
							
								For extreme high register and i also like the sound for soloing somtimes. 
						Bach 7 E Coronet 
							117 backbore for the Schilke P5-4 Piccolo Trumpet  
						For Fluglehorn 
								I use a very deep mouthpiece with a 14 throat. For section work I sometimes use a more stock mouthpiece like a 3C Flugle. 
						Mutes: 
								Ray Robinson cup mute 
								Stone Line red cup mute 
								Joral copper Harmon mute 
								Alessi mute 
							Joral mute 
								Wooden straight mute
