My opinion is that you shouldn't bother with a C trumpet. There is absolutely no reason for you to have one right now unless you came across some extraordinary deal on a great horn. I have a student who is going to be a high school senior and he has a C because I found an excellent deal on a rare horn. However, his transposition skills are excellent and probably would have found the A transposition easier on the Bb more than the C right now. Had I not found that special horn he would be playing Bb exclusively.
So, I'm a bad person to ask this question of if you have your heart set on getting a C. I like students holding on to the Bb as long as possible.
