Hi Manny,

I have been playing my C trumpet a lot for about a year. I would say more C then B flat.

When I go into the upper register the trumpet seems to back up on me.
(from about G above the staff) I can play the exact same music on B flat and I don't have this problem.

I have noticed that I can come in with soft passage more easily on the C.

I seem to get tired quicker on C, I think because I am pushing up high.

What do you think?
