Concerning the Schagerl Rotaries, they really do have light and heavy weight trumpets. There is also different size of bells. I am uncertain about what horns are use in Mnozil, but know for sure, that Austrian orchestras usually prefer ligh weight and german go for the heavy ones. I tested both and my preference goes to the heavy ones. If you have got the time you can take some Vienna Philharmonic recordings and compare them to some good german orchestra (should be a recent recording as some of them used to play pistons) like Munich or Berlin. My teacher (Murray Greig) said once to me that while British trumpeters are trying to get light B flat trumpets for orchestra the american are getting heavy C trumpets, which often sounds quite similar. he prefered the the C rotary while I would go for B flat because it gives even darker and heavier sound. When you play for example the Wagner's opera or Strauss tone poems you can get such nice and specific sound but if you want to play Debussy or Stravinsky ...well I personally would not use rotary...That is exactly what I meant with the question "what for"
