| I've given up for now. All my attempts to finding out what kind of a trumpet my 1911 C.G. Conn is has led to only one conclusion: It plays with a beautiful tone as a Bb trumpet with both slides all the way in. But it is consistantly 1/2 step away from being a Bb/A trumpet. Using a tuner, when I play an A (1st and 2nd valve) the tuner, set at A=440, shows a G#. I'll just enjoy it in its Bb stage until a genius can deal with it in person. Thanks to all the geniuses on TM for your attempts to solve this dilemma. |
