  1. bach strad, getzen doc severinson (jazz), monet (wynton marsalis plays one), i personally dont like the yamahas as much as bach (personal choice).


  2. Bach, I use a Bach 180S37 Stradivarius right now and I love it!

    I have to say that the Strads are a very good all around trumpet.

    good luck :)

  3. Most professionals that I know play "Bach Strads"

    It is used by Symphony Trumpet Players.  You can purchase different models with different size bores and hardness of bells

    Good Luck

  4. Choosing a horn that is right for you depends upon the style of music that you'll be playing, and what you're willing to spend to achieve your sound.

    There are lots of different manufacturers out there. I have played just about every professional trumpet that is currently on the market... from Jupiter to Monette. As for Bach, I have played only two that I would consider owning... both are owned by people who know that they have an exceptional trumpet.  

    In my opinion, Yamaha's are very tough to beat. They offer a variety of models to fit your playing needs. The Bobby Shew model, which is a great jazz horn, is actually played by some symphony players. Their YTR-6335 model has been very successful for them. It's an excellent classical trumpet that would compare head to head with a Bach Strad. The YTR-8335LA, made in cooperation with Wayne Bergeron is an excellent all-around trumpet. I have to admit, their Xeno series tends to be a bit too bright for my musical taste. Their Artist Models are top-notch custom trumpets.

    Yamaha's are made with a great deal of consistency from horn to horn... unlike Bach, and many of the hand-built trumpets. Their staff consists of world-renowned horn builders. Because Yamaha is a major corporation, they can offer prices which are very hard to beat. When you have excellent quality, a good selection of models to choose from, and a very good price, that makes the task of choosing a new trumpet very easy.

    Please take a look at this growing lists of Yamaha Artists who play Yamaha trumpets:

    No matter what your choice is, I hope that you'll be very happy with it!

    Best of luck to you!

  5. A Bach Strad is a great instrument, although there are also great Yamaha trumpets.
