Re: PLEASE HELP, new trumpet

Migs,

There so many horns out there...if possible don't buy without testing the horn. Sure, schilke make very nice horns. All depends on what exactly do you want and how much you are ready to spend on.

If I understand well, you will be looking rather for a light, easy speaking horn. So there is few brands to look:

Vintage:
Martin Comitee is a good bet

Yamaha
Schilke
Eclipse
NYTC
Taylor
Monette
Spada

These are some of the best makers on the market. Availability for some models and makes can be questionable so it is up to your local shop. Try everything you can and go for the best value trumpet...If you fell not experienced enough to choose on your own you can bring your trumpet teacher with or any other expert person (it is always useful to have another person hearing you playing the horns as you can be influenced by brand's names). Good luck!

Re: PLEASE HELP, new trumpet

Migs,
welcome to TM!
Do you know how fun it is to speculate with other peoples money? (a lot!)

I am sure that you will see EVERY NAME BRAND TRUMPET being successfully used for the types of music that you listed.
You need to play at least 20 or 30 different types of horns YOURSELF before making any decision. I often make the comparison of spoon feeding somebody or teaching them to eat.

You have a trumpet to play, that means you can take your time and educate yourself.
There is no decision made that is so gratifying as one that did not involve comprimise. Now go out and do the right thing!
