Yeah, i've heard said that the Connstellation is built for a lead trumpet in a jazz or marching band. In the basketball pepband im in now, I always take things up in octive, and it sounds really cool, and i'll prolly do it in hi school next year, which in a way calls for that kind of sound. The problem is, i don't blend very well, so for concert band, i wouldn't need something making it worse, and I can get the lead sound without a trumpet "made" for it, so I guess the Constellation is out.
I've heard lots of good things about the V1, and i've heard everyone say that B&S blows bach outta the water(plus I hate bach, everyone has them). I'm a range player, so which of those would best fit to me?
