Don't you hate it when you look up a trumpet on a whole heap of sites and they have the same twenty word blurb that they were given by the manufacturer word for word? It is obvious that nobody has tried the horn.
eg Look up a Schilke B5 and it will say.The B5 model has slightly more resistance than the B1 with a more compact sound. This model provides flexibility in sound color with continuity in timbre in all registers and outstanding projection.
It makes it so hard for a person to work out what is fact and what is sales pitch.
That's my gripe for the day.
PS (I play a B5 and love it just in case you are wondering.)
Guess that's why they invented trumpet forums.
