| Wow, thanks for responding so quickly. I really can't go more than 1200 for a new B-flat, which is why I'm thinking that I should go the "used" route. I never really liked the way new trumpets felt anyway...
I think I want to go with a smaller horn (bell and bore). At one point I owned both a Bach 37 and a Bach 72. I sold the 72 because it played too much like a C trumpet and the 37 was just stolen while on loan to a friend. My friend had been borrowing it for almost two years, but I remember it being ok for lead playing. I'm waiting for the insurance money (prob about 1200) to buy a new horn.
Thanks guys,
Jimi |
