Does anyone know which alto setup (mouthpiece, etc.) Sigurd Køhn played? Here's a clip if you're not familiar:

Like (almost) all alto players in Norway in the 80-/90´s: Clayde Lakey 7*3 and green java 3 reeds. He changed to a Vandoren A45 not long before he died.

Thanks for the information. Why was that setup so popular with Norwegian alto players n the 80's/90´s? What's the current trend?

Because of Sigurd!

There are a lot of Meyers, but I don´t think there´s a trend, - we have become a part of the rest of the world ;-)

Interesting. What type of horn did he play?
