Hey guys. The music/musicians section isn't the most active, but I thought I'd see if there's any other brass instrumentalists here. If so, I'd like to ask about equipment.
So yeah. I'm a highschool trumpet player thinking about a new instrument. Wondering what'd be good for me to check out. I play lead in jazz band(s) and that's probably what I do most of. I wouldn't just want something geared towards that since I also have to do symphonic stuff.
Aside from just a horn that'd be good for me, I'm also wondering about different attributes of the instrument and why different features would make a horn better for certain things. Just for my own knowledge. Examples being bore size, lacquer, etc. How does it affect sound?
This thread will probably get glanced over by most of ya'll but maybe there's a single brass enthusiast here who'll see it.
Edit: Oh, right now I have a Getzen 700. Perfectly good horn, but it's aging a little. And I'd like to get something a little nicer (except I probably won't cos it'd be expensive as all balls).
