Re: Cannonball Trumpet

I played one a while back and really liked it. I can't remember the model, but I remember it had a huge bell on it. It was very responsive and played well in tune. I wasn't so wild about the stone on the horn, but I did like it on the valve buttons. I didn't have my own horn along for comparison, but I was impressed with it. I know my trumpet teacher from years ago teaches out of that store and he's now playing on one. He plays in small Jazz combos and has always preferred a very lively responsive horn. My first pro horn was a light weight Yamaha that I bought off of him in 1983. I still play it occassionally, it's like an old friend.
