Bruno Tilz makes a s..tload a mouthpieces, one type I know and that is the BaKo type: BaKo means Bach Kopie (copy), he makes CNC copies of Bach Mount Vernon mouthpieces.
Well, since the original Bach Mount Vernon, as well as the New York and Elkhart mouthpieces where not very consistent it's risky to just order them... You'll never know if you like them after playing them.
The build quality is very well, I ordered once a BaKo 3c and that one was way bigger than my Vincent Bach Corp. 3c, the BaKo feld more like a Vincent Bach Corp. 1 1/2c + the backbore was HUGE

RE: Courtois Balanced Model...
Yes I sold my Courtois Balanced L-bore to Barliman2001 simply because he was in need and I have too many great horns.
The Courtois Balanced has a HUGE bore size, like .470 but she plays like a very good Bach ML with 37 bell. The sound of the Courtois Balanced -in my hands- leanend as well to the Bach 37 sound: nice, easy to color, very good projection and diction, in other words a real martial trumpet sound
I am very happy I could help Barliman to replace his worn out Courtois Balanced -

RE: The One
The 1991 Getzen Eterna 900 LB that crossed my path one year ago made me sell most of my other horns...
Oops! The 1980 Getzen Eterna 900 ML that crossed my path one month ago makes me think selling the LB one...

RE: Recommendations for used silverplated professional trumpet
Big chance that I cause a shitstorm but I have my doubts about the quality of the XO-brass valves; I sold my Bach 180-37 from 1978 to a conservatory student who weared out his XO-brass horn in just 4 year of intensive use.
The first thing he did when trying the Vincent Bach horn was checking the valves of it. He was shocked...The rest is history

RE: Conn 12b
I once had both a Conn 12b and e Conn 22b, pretty much the same instruments apart from the bell; the 12b has a copper bell rather than the yellow brass bell from the 22b
I prefereer the 22b: better projection so easier to play in company. Both are great horns. Oil the valves!

Buy a trumpet with a yellow brass bell, gold brass bells seems to sound nicer but they lack of projection.I don't know why you would say this. I'm not sure of this advice.
Well, I have that experience. I tried a good sounding Yamaha trumpet with gold brass bell in the symphony orchestra for a few rehearsals and I decided to sell that very horn after I swapped horns with the guy besides me who played a Yamaha with yellow brass bell. The yellow brass bell horn played way easier because she projects way better: The better you hear yourself in the section, the less energy you will waste

Wherever you live, buy a second hand Getzen Capri and you will have an instrument for years if not for the rest of your life: Superb valves, sturdy construction, fat brassy sound with excellent projection
Keep on studying, progression will come over milage...

RE: Getzen Club
After a long horn safari I ended with a Getzen Eterna 700s and an Eterna 900 LB. I tried many Capri's which I liked for the playing, not so much for the sound. I tried a few Eterna 900 ML trumpets but to me they all played very different to each other; the early and mid 70's ones they where exceptionally free blowing, a bit too much to me, they where wearing me out, a 900 ML early 90's suited me better but not good enough and I didn't like the way she sounded.
It was bingo with the 700s: Great sound and great resistance in the blow what I seem to like haha! This trumpet made me a better player
Out of curiosity I bought a 900 LB from the late 90's (I could not resist the price) and that horn became my daily player: a nice resistance, slightly more open than the 700s but way tighter than the 70's Eterna ML horn which proves that bore size says close to nothing(!) but especially the way this horn sounds. She really sings in a very sophisticated way; this horn made me sell my mid 70's Vincent Bach 180-37The 700s that made me a better player together with my ol' Early Elkhart Bach

RE: First Horns
![0_1588594286005_schenkelcornet.png](Uploading 100%)
My first horn was an alto saxophone, borrowed from the community band but since I was a very little boy I could not fill it up with air. So the saxophone was swapped by a flugelhorn but my mother didn't recognize this as a horn so I had to bring it back and returned with a trumpet, brand: Schenkelaars, a dutch brand nothing special, not very good either, at least not the model I got.
That trumpet I had to replace for a Schenkelaars cornet (an Olds Ambassador stencil) because there where cornet players needed. It was an useful instrument, not too bad. I could buy it after the band got new instruments, bought it for like $50.-
I still have it, suffering heavy from red rot, leaky valves and stuck mouthpiece -

RE: Brass instruments are not pneumatic circuits
@Trumpetsplus said in Brass instruments are not pneumatic circuits:
A trumpet needs some resistance. One with zero resistance would be like that playground trick when someone leans on you but you pull away.
I mentioned that I could not play well on de Getzen 900 Severinsen; for me too few resistance instead of my Getzen 700s -a horn with a LOT of resistance- is my daily player, so yes, a trumpet needs (some) resistance. I know.
Your remark about a horn getting harder into resonance thus a FEEL of more resistance makes sense. Very interesting
After all, if you compare the bore of a mouthpiece with the inner diameter of the tubing in a trumpet, well that makes me think about why bore size of the instrument says very very little -
RE: Brass instruments are not pneumatic circuits
@Trumpetsplus said in Brass instruments are not pneumatic circuits:
http://www.jaegerbrass.com/Blo/Entries/2019/12/brass-instruments-are-not-pneumatic-circuits.html
An instrument will present an increased resistance when the tubing does not want to resonate. This can happen when a high pressure in the wave (pressure antinode) occurs in a part of the tubing that does not want this to happen. There may be a change of hardness in the metal, a compromised solder joint, a leak, or just a bad design. A commonly found cause of high resistance in new, inexpensive beginner trumpets is excessive clearance in the valve casing, causing leaky valves.
Yes but how can you explain the differences between -for example- a Vincent Bach 180-37 with a 25 lead pipe and a 43 lead pipe? The latter had less resistance in the blow, so the first (the 25 leadpipe) has an increased resistance compare to the 180-37 with a 43 lead pipe
I presume that both trumpets are well designed and equipped with well made valves -
RE: Very Nice 1929 Conn 22B Trumpet For Sale
I guess this instrument will remain a dream to me
Over here in the Netherlands you just have to go to a post office, pay for the shipment including optional insurance and the parcel will be on it's way.
I can't remember which shipping company Charlie Melk used to send off my Olds Super but that shipment didn't had any problems.Maybe someone over here has experience with international shippings?
