Hi Dan!

I just bought your trumpets slightly older sister!!

A Bach 26-59 with a 6 pipe from nov.-35!

After playing it for a while,and by looking at it, the 26 bell seems to be somewhat tighter, and flares out much later than for instance a 37 bell.

The sound (for me) is a bit brighter-but what a SOUND!!

Congrats on your buy!!
