Re: A serious trumpet

With a new wifey, Congrats!, renting for a bit isn't the craziest thing in the world.

The manufacturers publish the specs because it helps them sell trumpets. Also, if one gets all gearheaded-up, it's fun to know more and more.

Brutal truth is sound trumps everything. And I wish there were a straight line joining specs and sound for all players. But what fun would that be?

Your question, "how much difference do the specs make?" is a good one. I don't know "the" answer. "An answer" is not as much they have interested me. Good ears go a long way coupled with patient investigation. Heck, the good ears don't even have to be ours.
