Re: Yamaha Chicago Bb Versatility

Not trying to start rumors here, but...

I've heard that Yamaha designed the Chacago C and then used that instrument as the starting point for the Chicago B-flat. Has anybody else heard that?

I don't currently own a B-flat I like. I just commented to my roomate today that I've played 3 recitals since entering college and haven't used B-flat on any of them. Perhaps the Yamaha Chicago Bb would be a better fit because its design is based on a C trumpet. Any thoughts? (Other than I should stop worrying about equipment and just play the dang music?)
