Spawn,

What 12 trumpets did you try before settling on the Bach?

Before I bought the 8345S I tried a V1 yellow brass bell, V1 sterling bell, a Yamaha 8335RGS, a Benge, a Bach 180S-37, and a Holton MF 306(which ever is the large bore MF).

The V1's felt great in the hand and I liked the short throw valves, but they had a tighter blow than I was looking for.

The RGS also felt a little restrictive.

The Benge reminded me of a Conn Director.

I tride two Bachs. One had slow valves and just didn't play right. The other needed some work done before the store would even let me try it. They were both brand new.

The MF horn was wide open, but felt cheap. Some notes made the horn vibrate. It was a little weird. (I have an old ST302 as my back up horn. It is much more solid than the new version IMHO)

The 8345S was like driving a new Cadillac.
