@Gendreauj I use a Bach 6 .I really don't care if it's a student horn or not anymore because I am finding out that vintage student horns some were built better .Also I had a Wick 4 ?? Cornet m.p. but I think I gave it to someone as a gift.

@Dale-Proctor hah that's good Conjunction Junction..Merv could have been a little bit nicer to Jack..Jack IS was a great trumpet player.

@Dale-Proctor Okay thank you for your information.Anthony

@Dale-Proctor thanks Dale

@administrator yes I know this was a student level I got it for 90 bucks figuring I would use it as a practice trumpet once in awhile.Thanks

@barliman2001 I thank you for your reply very interesting .I hope you find other trumpet gems in your trumpet career .I understand your compassion and compulsion we have all been there.Thank you for your time Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year .Anthony

@J-Jericho Brush my teeth always and oil .Great advice.

@Trumpetb Thank you Sir .I have been doing exactly what you have been doing oil before and after ,in fact
I also own a 100 year old trumpet it's a Conn.5B from 1924 it is built like a tank and the valves are fast because I do the same regiment I do on my Yamaha .Thank you so much for your kind help.Anthony

I have a brand new Yamaha trumpet that I recently bought .Since its my first brand new trumpet not used I wanted to be careful and take good care of it So the manual that came with this Yamaha Xeno says to oil it Before and After playing. Now it sounds like overkill to me so I asked my tech.guy and he said yes ! do it because it removes debris from the pistons.But then to confuse things he said it will be ready for the next day !!
So what does that mean don't oil it Before on the next day or not? Anyone that can figure what the heck I mean please help.Anthony

@Gendreauj Thank you for your input and kind help , Anthony

@Gendreauj Thank you it really is a nice horn .I picked it up on eBay for $45.00 invested another $45 to straighten out the bell ...it looked like the player passed out and fell on the bell! I am curious is it a student horn because it is built pretty sturdy ? Thank you for any help Happy New Year ,Anthony

Anyone ever owned or played a Holton Cornet Shepard's
