Cute list, but I can give you a much longer list of players who moved away from Schilke horns, including some on your list. The "large bore fad" you asked about occurred during the 70's Rock/Big Band era. Herman, Kenton, Buddy, etc..., all started playing really bad rock arrangements. The "fad" was the blaring, over the top, approach by many of those sections who moved to totally inefficient large bore Benges and large bell Schilkes, like the B1. Today, in 2011, its all about having a good, or lets call it a marketable sound and of course efficiency. Today, thanks to cats like Bobby, its all about efficiency. The Schilke sound, especially on a B1 can be exciting, but not worth the work. The biggest problem is that the B1 sound is not versatile. Come to think of it, I can't think of a setting where the B1 works at all today. Well, not that you can't make it work, but there are much better, more versatile horns on the market. Ask Arturo, or Roger, or Randy, or..... Like I said, these days you rarely run into a Schilke on the bandstand. Sorry man, didn't mean to offend the diehard Schilke cats out there, but it is what it is.
