Looking for a specific Xeno (there are several models) I'd aim you toward the 8335RGS. For Bach, I consider either the 180-37 or 180-43.

The Henri Selmer Chorus models are excellent, but for some reason I heard that they cost more in France than in the USA. (Weird, eh?) The Schilke B1, B5 and S22 are all excellent trumpet, but more expensive than Bach and Yamaha. (Well worth it to many, but that's a matter of personal preference).

My favorite Stomvi is the USA model with reverse leadpipe, but I suspect you'd have to order it thru a US dealer. (Does anyone know an "equivalent" European model to the USA?)

I've never played one, but often mentioned is the B&S Challenger.
