Re: New horn. Silver horn? Lacquer horn? ???

Brass, brass, brass! Much easier to take care of...especially if he is only 10.

A trip to a music store revealed that Gus’ old Bach wasn’t quite as done in as I thought it was and the valves are now working again ( a spring had sprung, or something like that).

So the old Bach may finish the school year after all. Which is good, because while I was ready to get a new horn, Gus wasn’t. He likes his beat up old horn. It looks like it spent some time in a cement mixer, but Gus likes it, dings, dents, missing lacquer, broken support pieces and all.

His older sister, Anna, has a nice, shiny, silver Getzen 700, but Gus likes his beat up old Bach better. He believes the dings and dents contribute to his unique tone. Maybe he is right, I don’t know, he sure can blow that thing. (I played in high school, and it is a loud, clear horn).

I had Gus blow some horns at the store, and a Yamaha 4335 did catch his fancy. But he wasn’t ready to let go of his old trumpet yet.

The repairman said the Bach’s days were numbered, but till that day comes, if Gus is happy, then I’m happy.

I would say silver because they seem to have a darker tone.
