If I do find a bach, any recommendations on the lead pipe (A, H, etc) or bell (229, 239, etc)?
Thanks a lot  |
B&S C trumpets are quite popular in the UK, and I own one myself (3136/2 reverse leadpipe). When trying out various horns prior to purchase, I actually preferred the B&S to any of the Bach C's I tried, and I thought it was equal to the Yamahas I tried. Definitely worth trying them out, if you can.
