Re: C Trumpet Dilemma

DL,

There is great number of brass repair shops that can customise your horn (bigger or heavier bell, a different leadpipe, change the tunning slide etc). The most famous in europe are Spada in Burgdorf (Switzerland) and Will Spencer in Surrey (UK). I am sure tha Eclipse trumpets can do a very nice job too. I cannot advise you about US repairmen but there is a lot of US trumpeters on TM who can. Surely, someone will come up with a suggestion.
