Re: Hummel

Schilke makes 3 and 4 valve combination G-F-E trumpets, as well as the Yamaha, B & S, and Blackburn. Believe it or not, once you have an E trumpet you'll find other uses for it as well - try the Tocatto from Pulcinella on an E, for example.

The Hummel in E is also very playable on a good D trumpet.

After performing the Hummel in E it sounds and feels funny in Eb, not quite "right".
