Well............

I think you want a trumpet.

I am curious why you want a one piece bell.

Some respected trumpet makers make 2 piece bells...Monette, Lawler and Eclipse just to mention a few.

Let's see other than that a horn that is good for
high registers
marching band
symphonic
and jazz

Would be

Bach
Schilke
Getzen
Holton
Benge
Yamaha
Jupiter
Zeu....no, I can't even type that!
King
Conn
a vintage King
a vintage Reynolds
a vintage Olds, but not one with a 2 piece bell
etc, etc.

Do NOT buy a dreaded Monette, Eclipse, or Lawler with those lousy two piece bells!
