I like a C trumpet that sounds rich and brilliant. Having a potential to create a rich sound with brilliance at its core fits more styles that I play than a sound that is overly anything else. In other words, chock-full of overtones that I can play around with as I wish. So, here it is: Bb's are dark chocolate and C trumpets are dark chocolate with raspberry filling.
