TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - Would you buy it? Bach VBS 196 vs. Schilke P5-4 Piccolo

I tried a couple of the new Bachs and didn't care for them at all. I've had a Schilke P5-4 for over 20 years and still like it. It can be fairly bright, so given the chance, I would like to have a Scherzer rotary to round out the mix. I also really like the Schilke P7-4 which is completely different from the P5-4.

IMHO, the Getzen Eterna 940s, which now comes stock from the factory with Blackburn leadpipes, is a very good bargain.
