Frank Zottola -- inventor & maker of mouthpieces for brass musical instruments
In 1952, while walking through a quiet New England woods he came upon a smoothly flowing stream. Subconsciously, his musician's ear noticed that it was producing a dark and diffused tonal quality. As he wandered along a little further where periodic rock obstructions on the stream's bed interrupted the water's flow creating turbulence, he became aware of the increase in brilliance and a compactness of sound. When the stream finally broke into a waterfall, crashing on the descending steps, the pitch, intensity and volume reached its maximum. At that moment, he had a realization that this natural phenomenon could be extended to a practical application in mouthpiece design. He postulated that a stepped back-bore design might very well be what contemporary brass players have been searching for to solve their problem of ever increasing range and endurance demands.

can I name the Thurn und Taxis family? if not, maybe Gloria von Thurn und Taxis.
The family made its fortune under the german Emperors when they had a monopoly over the postal system.
Gloria is a crazy socialite and the mother of Albert and Maria. They are still very rich even if they lost about a third of their family fortune in the economic downturn.
