I'm looking to get a new trumpet and having quite a delima. First of all, I own an old 1971 Conn intermediate trumpet that plays very well... for a 30 year old student trumpet. I like Conn, I've played several other conn horns and I like them alot, just the feel. I fell in love with the Connstellation the first time I saw it, but began to fall toward the Vintage 1 for it's many costamizations I could get on it. The only problem is, the music store in town and pretty much in the state doesn't stock those two, but they can order it. But I know that a trumpet has to "warm up" to me just like I warm up to it. So i looked on to the B&S challenger II, which they carry in stock. What should i do? Does the B&S offer the same quality as these two other horns?
