Johann Sebastian (1685–1750), German composer. An exceptional and prolific baroque composer, his compositions range from violin concertos, suites, and the six Brandenburg Concertos (1720–21) to clavier works and sacred cantatas. Large-scale choral works include The Passion according to St. John (1723), The Passion according to St. Matthew (1729), and the Mass in B minor (1733–38). Three of his sons were also well-known composers: J(ohann) C(hristian) Bach (1735–82), known as the London Bach, J(ohann) C(hristoph) F(riedrich) Bach (1732–95), known as the Buckeburg Bach, and W(ilhelm) F(riedemann) Bach (1710–84), known as the Halle Bach

Pocket trumpet
My old Imperial pocket trumpet, purchased used at Volkwein's music (when it was still on the North Side.) The valves need work, but I don't know if it's worth fixing.
