I noticed some say 2055S and some say 2055T, What is the difference between them? I am not a player and know nothing about them, I am researching for my niece who does play and asked for a 2055T ..read more

@flugelgirl Is the 200 AD from the Advantage line? I just spoke with someone at a local music shop, and they indicated the 354 and 200AD were the same horn, but for different markets. Is that accurate? Thank you for all the info, BTW ..read more

What is this? I think it's a Tibetan spiritual / religious horn, kind of like a didgeridoo or alpenhorn. Very interesting. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144156248743?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D56732482%26algo%3DDEFAULT_ALGO%26ao%3D1%26asc%3DDEFAULT_CONFIG%26meid%3D66ebbcf0e5b3439bbdef30e68b70f6de%26pid%3D101290%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D10%26itm%3D144156248743%26lsid%3D3%26ci%3D16214%26plcampt%3D0%3A11748918011%2C%26itmf%3D1%26sid%3DAQAGAAAAECvpEv9TeJKE6ShxpAaIWdQ%3D%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D3268220&_trksid=p3268220.c101290.m2333&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mksrc=PromotedListings&plrfr=https%3A%2 ..read more

@walter-sk Have you contacted Jason Harrelson? He is easy to contact and even if you did not buy the horn from him directly, he can help you assess the situation ..read more

I think that the best value you might find out there is CarolBrass. They are solid, in-tune and easy to play, not to mention they look nice with a brushed finish. The valve action feels very nice. I have played many "name-brand" trumpets I did not like as much as these. If I were suggesting a new trumpet to a new player, I would suggest CarolBrass. It won't break your bank like a new Yamaha but it will serve the player well for many, many years ..read more

I’ve been told by the local instrument restoration shop that ultrasonic cleaning will often open up all sorts of red rot damage that wasn’t leaking before the cleaning. They warn people about that before accepting older or obviously compromised instruments for ultrasonic cleaning. I can tell you from experience, though, that they are very good at plugging those tiny holes almost invisibly ..read more

With such little detail, you'll never know without better pictures. If he only speaks Spanish and is in Texas, he's not playing a 38B. That middle trumpet clearly has 2 braces on the tuning slide and that is not a Conn characteristic on their horns, at least the vintage horns! BEWARE!!! It could be a conn job ..read more

@administrator said in I don't know what that is, but I want one!: Look at the instrument in the main photo. Is that a flugelhorn? http://www.jamesmorrison.com/schagerl/ How in the world would a person clean it!?! Maybe its a flugelnoodle ..read more
