Re: How to try a new trumpet.

I remember going to the 1993 ITG in Akron and having the same problem. I went with the idea of searching for a new instrument and trying some of the ones that I had never played before. It was so crazy everyone blowing high, fast and loud. A neat story actually occurred when I was trying a horn. William Vacchiano walked in and was looking around. I did not even realize he was there, and I was just blowing a few Clarkes, and some light slurs seeing how an instrument slotted. He came up behind me and made a comment about how it seemed that I was the only one truly interested in seeing how a horn plays. It was really cool, he just sorta shook his head when he heard the trumpet jock guys...
