The 12B's play great.

That was a *gorgeous* trumpet except for the destruction in the bell.
When I see things like that, I wonder what the story is behind it.
"I was waking through the park with the trumpet in my hand when a mugger with a machete attempted to decapitate my trumpet..."
I wish I could play a trumpet like yours just *once* so that I could finally find out what a Coprion bell feels like and sounds like.
