Larry,

Great info. for us "trumpet geeks"! And I too never liked the "Terms" / labels. The whole "Studio 2 'This is a Lead Trumpet' " crap. What exactly is a "lead-trumpet" or a "lead-horn" anyway? UUGGG! Give me a break!

A good trumpet is a good trumpet, if it plays in tune, if it helps you easily get the sound you hear in your head, and if it gets to the target (be it a studio mic, or the ears of the guy sitting 50-100 feet away in the middle of the concert hall).

Sorry ... but I had to go there! And, I'm glad to see the discission back to model numbers that mean something. That's very interesting reading you've posted! BTW, talk to Dave ... there's a guy in Branson who has a very nice (old) ml bore 1s-3. Very nice horn! And no the guy won't sell it, we all asked already (ha ha ha)

Have a nice day!
