| Peter,
You are fortunate to have a Mt. Vernon of that era I have played several early Mt. Vernons and did not like them. A good friend of mine bought a Mt. Vernon that is 1962 Vintage and it is the best Bach I have ever played if not the best horn I have ever played. It has a warm, beautiful sound and is very responsive.
His wife (also a trumpet player) tried it and now she won't let him have it back. Of course he has seven other horns to choose from but none as good as the Strad.
Mike
