Bilboinsa,

Thanks for the kind words about the Fides trumpets! Yes, they are VERY good instruments, expecially when one considers the price! The $600 is the Fides Allegro, and the silver trumpet was my Fides Pioneer. At $945, new, you cannot go wrong with the silver Pioneer ($895 for the Pioneer in lacquer).

Thanks again to everyone who visited my booth! I'll be back next year, and will hopefully have a Stage 1 endorsing artist in the booth with me as well!

Blessings,

Michael,
It was great to finally meet you there! I look forward to seeing you again soon-and the booth again next year. The Model A is great, and I'm definitely enjoying using this one for a while. Did you manage to pull any good pictures or videos from all the stuff you took?

As a follow-up---I have ordered my Schilke B2 and my Kanstul 1525 from TulsaBand--best buy I could find on BOTH. TB was $600 lower than the aforementioned 1st retailer on the Schilke, and was about $300 lower than the nearest competitor on the flug. Talk about a free-market system! Kanstul will be here in 4 weeks...the B2 in 6 m---o---n---t---h---s. (aghhhhhhhh!!!)
