 | Courtois trumpet A friend of mine played a Courtois trumpet (model unknown) today and loved it. He'll find out the model in the next day or so. Is there a dealer in the U.S.? Does anyone know a source of information on these horns? How good are they? What do they cost? |

| John, I played a Courtois Evo II at a music store once; they are pretty nice playing trumpets if you like a dark sound. They're also pretty heavy though so if you're into heaviness, it is a great trumpet. It plays nice and smooth and the store I saw it at priced it at $2500. If you want a Courtois Evo I instead of the Evo II, the Evo I is around $2000. Hope this helps. Kaushik |

   | John, Dillon Music NJ is a Courtois dealer. I have a Customised EVO II pic here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ron.heyes/evo.jpg As has been said, very dark horn, I love it. But am about to move on. |

 | Courtois Trumpets I Play on a Courtois 'Elite' C/Bb Trumpet (Which I don't think is available any more). I use it for Jazz, Orchestra and anything else I'm asked to do really. I find that it plays well in all registers. It isn't as heavy as the 'Evolution' instruments either. I've been playing on it now since Summer 1999 and I'm glad I bought it. I also have a Courtois Chambord II Cornet. You can see the details of the trumpets at the Fred Rhodes website (Which is where I bought mine) http://www.fredrhodes.com/ins_cat/trumpet.htm |
