| Hi Guys!
I wanted to get back to the original question about nothing new. I don't think you need to make changes when you have got perhaps the best made trumpet in production. New and different has become such a major theme in our society and generally, it is a marketing tool to disregard what we currently own and run out and buy a new one. Which as trumpet players we need little, if any encouragement to buy a new trumpet.
I always have admired Schilkes committment to quality. I have a B7 from 1972. The horns compression is incredible. It plays like a dream. You can still tweak the horn - if need be. But I reiterate what a previous post said. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Mike
