Get yourself some bagpipes... play them for a few minutes, then when you switch to trumpet everyone will be so relieved and happy that they'll want you to keep playing, living in fear that you'll switch back!!

They had a Courtois Bb, a Balanced model, silver plated, Serial no. 10xxx.

I have the same horn, 164xx ... I think they're quite nice! There's not a lot of serial number info out there but I think mine is from early seventies so I'd guess that you'd be in the early-ish '60's??

Also have a cornet (50's I believe) that I love and also a Flugel (that I believe is late 30's) and I get along pretty well with that one too!!!

You should talk. Ever see the Robin Williams' skit where he refers to Mr. Happy?

MY 'Mr. Happy' is a 'Super Hero' character that I invented when I worked a retail job. Just when I got to the point where I was about to reach over the counter and grab someone by the throat, I would summon 'Mr. Happy'... He would swoop in with his Super Hero cape (adorned with a large "H" of coarse!), quell my violent thoughts and kill them with kindness!!! He has saved me from being incarcerated many times over!!! Haha!

I enjoyed watching that video but the thing that surprised me was that those little clip-on tuners fit on THAT part of the bell! Had a little session last night and gave it a try and It fit just fine and worked great... so thanks!!
