So, Beethoven 7th comes next year (for a freelance job). I played it always just with the C trumpet, but last time with both C and picc (for the third movement trio, and I'll do it never again, because I don't like picc sound in this excerpt). I wondered always, why so a sort of problem with this "easy" work. Last year, the broadcasting with the Symphony orchestra of the bavarian radio was not so good. The player said me, he was always, after many years, negatively surprised: "sh_t , I forgot again, it was not so easy!"
I readed that Herseth and Scarlett just used a pair of E trumpets from Schilke.
What's your opinion about?

I like a open C trumpet type of sound. Anyone does use too a E trumpet, or a D ?
