| Re: Why upgrade?
I think that one of the things that makes us keep looking is that there is always a chance that you'll try something that will fit you better. That magic pill that lets you do everything that bit easier and matches that sound in your head, isn't there? With all the choice there has to be at least one perfect horn 'waiting' for us to play it. It's a bit like the arguement that says that if the universe is infinite there must be other civilisations just like ours waiting to be discovered. It's perfect logic, isn't it?
Save for a defective trumpet mechanically or physically, once you've reached a certain level of instrument, the differences in my experience are minimal and to be honest most improvements haven't warranted me to change (yet). Chris Martin writes in his latest article that after going through all sorts of instrument changes he is back to the Bachs he has always played.
Just my thoughts.

PS Though I'm sure I'd look really good with a gold plated balckburn or a Monette P1!! |
