Re: Trumpet Design - our fantasies

How about a trumpet that has the intonation of a Schilke or Yamaha and the sound of a Bach. The New French Besson Classics came really close to that.

Building leadpipes and valve casings of gold brass to help keep the corrosion down, and hopefully the need for patches.

how about getting the mechinisim that one can operate the tuning slide to control pitch for things like the high g as at least an option if not a standard feature. (I know it exists, but forget the name of it)

other things

a piccolo trumpet hand gaurd that actually covers all the contact points.
