It depends on HOW you approach playing the trumpet. I would try EVERY ONE of these horns.
Lead horns:
My A list horns in order:
- Wild Thing
- Callet Jazz
- Calicchio 2-9 (if you like open horns)
- Calicchio 1S-2 (if you like a little resistance)
- Calicchio 1S-7 (if you like resistance)
- Schilke (Both large and med bore models are free blowing)
My B list horns in order:
- Kanstul 1500 series
- Vax model Yamaha
- Bach 43-72 light weight
- Shew model Yamaha
- MF horn and a valve alignment
- Arturo model LeBlanc and a valve alignment
Legit horns
My A list horns in order:
- Wild Thing with the #2 slide
- Calicchio copper 2-9 (if you like open horns)
- Calicchio copper 2-2 (if you like resistance)
- Kanstul 1500 series copper bells
My B list horns in order:
- B&S Challenger
- Vax model Yamaha
- Bach 37
- Conn Vintage One
Funny thing there are a great many horns on this trumpet list made by Zig Kanstul.
You really need to play them all. Nobody knows which one you will like or play best.
