I currently play two Bb trumpets a Kanstul Chicago MLP and a Yamaha 6345GSII. Neither is perfect for me. The kanstul is too bright and a little stuffy to me and the Yamaha a little too heavy.The Yamaha sounds nice but kind of is tank like. I am and adult comeback payer who lays a little bit of everything. But mostly like big band section work. I played 8 years (many years ago) in a DCI drum corps so I am used to open horns.I was a lead player. I have been considering a Calicchio 3-9 or 1s-9 Large bore. I like open but not impossibly large horns. I also have learned that the bore sizemay be less important that the bell and leadpipe. I am also considering lawler. callet and the kanstul Wayne Bergeron. Anyone have an ideas??? ( and yes many years ago I was a Bach 37 person but no recently)
