I am so glad to hear that you like the Barrington. I have only just purchased that horn (for $179!!) from WWBW but have been totally worried that I did the wrong thing, because I can't find much info about that company. I didn't want to drop a lot on a horn because I am just coming back to it after not having picked up a trumpet since 1997 (I played French horn on scholarship in college from 1996 to 2000, after playing trumpet starting in 1990). My trumpet was a really cheap used Blessing so I didn't think it was wise to spend lots of money and just could not pass up $179 for a new trumpet. If it's total crap I guess I can return it to WWBW. :)
