Any interest in a Bach Strad shepherd's crook cornet in outstanding condition? Beautiful instrument, but i don't have need of a cornet anymore. I played in a Dixieland band that went out of business during Covid.

I have played both Martin Committees and Calicchio trumpets. I don't like the Martins. They got their reputation because I think some famous players played them (like Miles). But I find them dead sounding. I play in big bands, and need to project. They don't. Calicchios can be be excellent instruments, but you need to play test them. I play a Bach 43* (lightweight). Very responsive horn with excellent intonation.
