| TM,
The Equinox is an awesome trumpet! Because of its length, it brings the bell closer to the player, which makes playing it a much more intimate musical experience. It utilizes the Large Red bell, so the sound is warm and full, in the low/mid range. The Large Red has a more "silky" upper register, while the Equinox has a bit more brightness, in the upper register. The reason for that is that the energy is being transferred to the bell section more quickly, because of the shortened leadpipe/main bend.
I play the Equinox almost exclusively. The standard length trumpets look a mile long, at this point. More than any other factor, the Equinox is a lot of fun to play! That's what it's all about!
Best always,
