Review of the New Bach C Trumpets and Eb

Just had a chance to try the new line of Bach Artisan C trumpets as well as the "Philly" and "Chicago" C trumpets. For me, the "Philly" C was great. I loved the response, flexibility, intonation, and sound of all the C's I tried. The "Chicago" model was quite good as well, but was a bit more zippy for me.

I'm hoping to find Orchestras interested in performing the John Addison Concerto, that was premiered by Leon Rapier (my teacher) many years ago and has been lost in the repertoire loop. It is a wonderful piece that showcases the lyrical ability as well as the tech...
