Hey Morris - I own 3 Bach Strads. Does that make me a pro?

I'm fond of many of the instruments Conn made, but I've owned a 60's Director cornet with the Coprion bell and didn't think much of it. I'm more of a Victor fan - I have two now, a 1960 6B trumpet and a 1963 5A cornet. The trumpet's a great instrument, and I hope the cornet is, too (I've only had it a week now).
