Re: A serious trumpet

Celebration! from Flip Oakes. Versatile and a core sound to die for. With this horn I can concentrate on the music since it lets me express myself 100%. I'm now considering a gold plated version with personalized engraving since I feel this is my new voice!I got lucky with my one of a kind flugel 25 years ago which to this day has a core sound that is unmatched and now I have my main voice in the Celebration!

I also like the Zeus line. Anyone have suggestions on what to get. Help me shop!! (Monette is out of the question-- too much $$$. But I am willing to spend up to $2500 because this is a long time investment and will get MUCH use. Plus thats all my wife will let me spend.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
