Help Me Pick a Good C Trumpet

This will probably be the first "new" horn I will have purchased in 30 years. I play a vintage Olds Recording I have had since the 60s. Not thinking of replacing it at all. As far as I am concerned it is perfect.

I do a bit of arranging and have a terrible Selman C that I use to pound out a trumpet part now and then. Quite honestly, it is making me sick. Its time for me to get something that I can actually stand to play. Actually I would like to enjoy playing it.

I would be looking in a $1000 to $1500 price range I think. I also like larger bore if that is an option for C-key trumpets.

BTW - Do any of you play C-key trumpets all the time?

I would love any advice here.

Greg
