There are pictures of him taken in the 50's using Conn 44H. During the 50's and part of the 60's he used a Conn 6H. For a time in the late 60's/early 70's, he used an Earl Williams Model 6. Then he started to play a Bach model 12, occasionally using a slide of the model 8. He also owned a King (I thought it was a 2B) and an Edwards model T302 in yellow brass (although I think he seldom used them). In the last years he played with the same Edwards model T302 with a sterling silver bell. He used a Bach 11C mouthpiece most of the time, but had a large collection of different mouthpieces, mostly in the 11C range. He owned many, many Bach 11C's from different eras - his favorites marked with numbers so he knew which was which. He also owned the mouthpiece custom made by John "Peppy" Pettinato made for Bill Watrous, which was marked "PHD S4 WRW"
