so, can anyone name some models that you think sound good and I could get cheap on ebay? |
You now are playing a Bach Strad (I also) and if you go an purchase a cheap trumpet that doesn"t come fairly close to the sound of your. main horn,it will probably remain in its case.My advise is to try to get to a store like Dillions and try as many Vintage horns you can to see which ones appeal to you. Then you will have an Idea of what to look for.Of the dozen or so horns I tried last month @ Dillions, I was really impressed with a late model french Besson.I never played an Ambassodor but that would be my choice if buying without trying,plenty on E-bay for around $100.Must be the best student horn ever made.Plenty of real player use them as their main horn!!Happy Hunting
