Well, no offense to anyone, but I would like to know the source and participation of that survey,

I don't think there is a source. It's just a random website.

Opinions, or facts?

One time, I went to a thrift shop and bought a small, used "lady's purse." I then proceeded to fill it with felt and other padding. It worked very well as a mouthpiece "pouch."

What a strange instrument. I would be curious to see how such a thing plays. If it's anything like my Super Recording...

At this point, I am unsure who the present manufacturer is. You should certainly "try before you buy."

@Jolter I am very curious how that instrument plays. It looks like a natural trumpet bell on the body of an older German trumpet. Interesting.

Welcome back. I have no experience with Schilke flugelhorns, but I currently own an Adams F1 Flugelhorn and I think it's fantastic. I would definitely go visit ACB since you're pretty close to begin with.

I have played several of their models. I don't much care for the stonelined trumpets. I think their newer line (non-stonelined) are decent trumpets. Depending on the price, you can get a good horn for not much money. They were made by B&S, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

The company is based in SLC, Utah. They are primarily a saxophone maker but their trumpets are decent as well.

Tasty. The only "des[s]erted island" where you gain weight.

Is that 3 bugles I see?

Here's my "ideal" setup, with no horns just as "collectibles" (although, I don't think there is anything wrong with a collection):

2 - Bb piston trumpets -- 1 for classical / 1 for everything else
1 - C piston Trumpet
2 - Piccolo trumpets -- 1 piston / 1 rotary
1 - D/Eb trumpet -- either piston or rotary
3 - Flugelhorns -- 1 piston 3-valve / 1 piston 4-valve with large bell / 1 rotary
2 - Cornets -- 1 piston Bb (BBB-style) / 1 piston C
1 - Bb rotary trumpet
1 - C rotary trumpet

I think that just about covers it...I can't think of anything else I could possibly need off the top of my head. That's 13 horns right there.

It's fine, I understand.

Generally, the policy is to just let threads sit and fade into distant memory. But this works, too, so long as everybody knows what the reason is. I like newer threads to be created on older topics.

@j-jericho said in I bought a fairly rare trumpet:

@administrator Did you get multiple leadpipes with it?

I actually do not know. I assume not.

Well...I did it again. I bought another trumpet when I should not have!

Here is what I purchased:

Hey @Lotsahorns , what are you thinking you'd like to get for the whole lot?
