Well, I've just pitted the two greatest of Vintage trumpet manufacturers against each other.

I've come to understand that Olds created many great trumpets, including the Mendez and the Recording. I don't know which one is "better" but supposedly the Mendez is a copy of Rafeal Mendez's French Besson.

Then there is THE vintage trumpet that everyone wants. The Martin Committee. I don't think there's a single trumpet player alive who wouldn't want one of these. The slotting on these horns were supposedly loosened up, adding to its unique sound. Countless jazz greats use and still use these horns and supposedly they were used by some symphony players. The Lawler C7 is supposed to be based off this trumpet.

So, which horn do you think is better and why?
