Re: The contest is over?

Haha, I doubt that will happen, for the same reason I doubt a C trumpet would be a prize. Not everyone uses a C or a Flugelhorn. Everyone the I have ever met who plays trumpet has a Bb and will use a Bb. The object of the contest, for the producer, is to help publicize their products. The NY 7 is the newest horn on the line, and also by being a Bb, draws interest from the largest demographic of members, leading to higher publicity. It all makes sense.

On the other hand, if they have a new line of flugels they are trying to spread the word about, it is a possibility. Or maybe they will make a Piccolo trumpet next as they dont have any on their line currently. I'd be willing to look into an NYTC Picc.
