Trent,

Do call Barry at the Baroque Trumpet Shop in NC. Might not be a bad flight from Boston to get to play all the horns and mouthpieces he has available.

If you go with a vented LONG model, and you happen to have short arms like me ... make sure your wrist isn't so bent that it hurts after a while. I opted for a short model because of this and I'm much happier now. Also, if you can, don't go budget... Barry will guide you along... but the Egger Trumpets are glorious.

Best wishes,

Rogerio
