In my lifetime, I have seen many people collects horns of all sorts, but was too shy to ask why. Are you such a person? Why collect?

+3yrs later and this is active? what have you decided?

thanks for comments and clarifications. well, whatever the trumpet, his performance is incredible.

@barliman2001 yes, another incredible performance. If asked, I would not be able to say which is more. To think, these are performed with a traditional 3-valve Bb trumpet.

Has McNab ever revealed which brand of trumpet he prefers?

Might we create a thread for posterity, by documenting who are the soloists on recordings and soundtracks?

Example:
Song - Oh My Papa. Vocalist - Eddie Fischer. Trumpet - ?? Margolis.

Question:
Who is the trumpet soloist for the soundtrack, Lonesome Dove?

Gleason with Hackett. Long, slow passages with full range are more difficult to play than they sound. Ya gotta have real chops. Nowadays, who could do this? Most I hear run up and down scales like an angry bee. Slow and mellow is gone, 'cause the likes of Hackett are gone.

@vulgano-brother me too, I have a megatone-looking 3c from an unknown Chinese mfgr, for about $7 new. For mine, compared to the genuine Bach 3C I have ca 1972, I would say the cup width is same, the bite sharper, and cup depth deeper. The sound is a tad darker and more brassy, and it is more difficult to play above the staff. The build quality is better; better silver plating. The B 3C gives a sweeter sound at pianissimo, much louder sound at forte, and is easier above the staff. For $7, price can't be beat. I bought it to experiment with the weight and sound. I do like the extra weight as a counter balance; the horn balances better in my hands.

@curlydoc I blew a few JP models a music fest. heavy horns, very average, nothing stands out to commend them. I found the price too high against competitors.

@j-jericho the drummer is THE show !

@tjcombo these days, I imagine a treatment for ingrown toenails would be political.

@georgeb My experience with the unbranded OEM model was exactly the same: a very nice horn in all respects, except above the staff.

@rowuk You are 100% correct. The very definition of OEM is made-to-order. For self-label, the Chinese will build to what sells. This is purest form of capitalism: supply to demand. The Chinese are more than capable of producing the finest quality in just about everything. They don't often, because they know to go against top brands means to carve into a very entrenched, consumer psyche. When I visited the OEM manufacturer for Bach, I trialled a self-branded horn that was equal, if not better, to my Strad. Such a horn will never be sold in NA, due to cost and price; who would pay a near-Bach price for a near Bach, when for a bit more you could have the real Bach? Such 'commercialism' is not confined to instruments. Mercedes-Benz tried to compete with Rolls Royce, by offering the Maybach. Maybach was an excellent vehicle, technically superior to the Rolls in all aspects. Rolls continued to sell, while the Maybach did not. Toyota can make the finest automobile too, and created a new brand to sell them. The Chinese have learned this lesson well.

@administrator You should note, upon reading the ad for the TR5000, no claims for made in USA. The TR3000 has a seamless bell. As far as I know, the seamless bells are made in China. Indeed, when I held a TR3000 in my hands, it was identical to the OEM trumpet produced by the same factory that makes the TR5000. This is not to denigrate the TR line; they are fine trumpets in all respects and more than sufficient for a serious student. But it is to say Bach does have an OEM manufacturer.
