 | What trumpet for warm, dark, mellow sound? I'm looking for a trumpet for up to $1500, preferably a vintage but not necessarily, with a warm, dark, mellow sound. Any ideas? |

 | Re: What trumpet for warm, dark, mellow sound? The Conn 38B has the right ingredients--a small bore with a big bell.

 | Re: What trumpet for warm, dark, mellow sound? I didn't know that Martin's were "dark" trumpets...Miles did not sound particularly dark on his....

| Re: What trumpet for warm, dark, mellow sound? Yes, obviously the answer is a cornet. Or just put a Curry TF in what you're playing now. Richard III |

I addition to use my embouchure actively to achieve different sounds out of my trumpets, I am also using different mps as "helpers" Bright/scream: Taylor ML2 Normal, whatever that is: Schilke 16 Soft, as in nice melodies and hymn tunes: Taylor ML Flumpet Hairy/airy: Taylor ML flugel mp with adaptor (And of course, a lot of combinations with my TRSS soundsleeves). AND: experimenting with mps is cheaper than buying new trumpets
