Hi, I've been looking for a Bach C Trumpet. I posted an ad on craigslist and a man called with an offer. He has has a Bach (Bill Tottle customization) with three bells: a 229, 228 and 238. He also says that he has several tuning slides and leadpipes, including the 25H that I want. It comes with (I believe) several Tottle 3CStar mouthpieces. Unfortunately, it's medium large-bore, and I'd rather have a large bore. He wants $1800. That's way more than I want to pay, but I'm wondering if I could sell two of the bells, leadpipes, tuning slides and mouthpieces that maybe I don't need and return my investment. Does anyone know what this trumpet might be worth (assuming it's in good/great condition). Thanks a bunch for the responses.
