| Why Cs?
I'll start the ball rolling (it's a tradition).
What precipitated the predominate use of C trumpets in orchestras in the US?
From reading the comments of various player trying to get to grips with a C they end up playing it with a very large mouthpieces, mainly playing larger bore instruments, trying to avoid a bright edge and on the whole complaining about the intonation. Why not just play Bb trumpet as they do in Europe?
