| Re: Help Me Pick a Good C Trumpet
I'm sure there are other, better similes, but putting a Bb slide on a C trumpet is like putting training wheels on a bicycle.
It still works, after a fashion, but response, good looks (and above all, intonation [which bikes don't have!]) are all compromised.
Go for the 239, by all means, and enjoy!
