Yes!!!! It's finally here. I wish everyone Good luck on this quest. I hope they don't judge on writing skills, but really focus on the "Dream Trumpet". I just don't want to have to hire a professional writer...lol

Could there be a list of Conn-Selmer parts posted? I know what I want in a trumpet but I'm not sure if Conn-Selmer has specific parts for it.
Thanks

That would be most helpful. I might end up being OK anyway, but a list of parts would help a lot of people.
