You seem to believe what your teacher says, so why not ask him precisely WHICH Bach HE recommends???

Or, don't you really trust his judgment after all?

Jon Faddis - Schilke
Steve Reid - Calicchio
George Graham - NY Bach Stradivarius
Chuck Findley - Calicchio (I think he recently switched to another brand)
Wayne Bergeron - Kanstul - Now plays a Yamaha
Bobby Shew - Plays a Yamaha (used to play an Olds Custom P-12)
Warren Luening - Bach
Bernie Glow - played a Bach
Maynard Ferguson - played a Conn Connstellation, then a Holton MF, and lastly a Monette

Go here to see many more player/horn combinations:

Most likely, each of these players tried a large number of horns before they found the one that worked best for them.

Wayne Bergeron seems to have shifted from the Kanstul to the Yamaha because Yamaha PAID him to endorse their product, which looks like a clone of the Kanstul that can be mass produced.

I dont usually post on forums, the Schilke i said i owned is really not totally mine as it is a trumpet my past teacher lent me until i finished high school. I posted to ask everyone what they thought, my new teacher did say some BAchs make a really good lead trumpet so i asked that on this forum. I was loking at the New York #7 limited addition, which looks like a very nice lead trumpet, am i totally mixed up? Or am i going in the right direction?

If you are a good lead player, the horn in your hands is a good lead horn.
If you are a good jazz player, the horn in your hands is a good jazz horn.
If you can't play, the most expensive technologically advanced instrument will not make you a player.
Practice makes great players, not the equipment they play on.

John Head sounded pretty good playing a Shilke with his Bach. I think you'd actually be hard pressed to find a better trumpet sound. And he had the epitome of the classic Bach sound.
