I am thinking about getting a C trumpet for church, solo and orchestra work. What brands and models are good for $2000 and under?

the usual suspects are all good. some may be closer to $2200 new, but you can probably get 'em for less. check for good demos on sale from giardinelli, etc.
i've alwys bought new Cs, but i have 2 great Bb demos models i found.

bach
getzen
schilke
yamaha
etc.....

nothing wrong w/lacquer for lower cost.

Contact Jason Harrelson at www.harrelsontrumpets.com and ask him what he might have for you. Another answer would be to buy a used C trumpet and allow Jason to do some modifications. In the end you will get a more efficient horn, with better tone and response, as about the same price.

For under $2000 you can a Yamaha Xeno, a Bach Strad, Kanstul, and many others.

I purchased my Yamaha 8445HGSII on ebay for $725. There are also many Bach C's on ebay.
