Nice horn Bandman.
As for me I already have, IMO the best non-customized pro trumpet, the Yamaha Xeno RGS. If I could get anything else,however, I'd probably go for an Equinox.
My dream stock horns would be an Eclipse LC or a Harrelson Nouveau. _________________ "To be a teacher you need to be as good a performer as you can be: you'll have more to impart to your students musically." - John Haynie

My Dream Horn: It would have an octave key fitted to it.
A beer holder attached.
Would only play if the money was good - and stop at midnight unless more money was offered.
Would clean itself - inside and out of course.
Would be a magnet for babes.
Would never play a wrong note.
My dream horn has recently been ordered through Bruce Lee. A Medium Yellow Eclipse with silver/ gold finish.
Peace,

Equinox is a great choice.Very fine instrument,I have to say.
Their regular Bb's are not too bad as well

My ideal horn would be one that fits my rather large hands. The closest so far is the Kanstul Mariachi. They have a long valve body. If there were such a horn with a large .462 bore I would probably want it.
Other than that, any horm that has a great tone and intonation with ME playing it. _________________ Harry Marks
My dream horn would be a Xeno 4-valve Bb trumpet,made mainl for big band type music,and with my name angraved on it!
Woah!
And an improvement to it would be that it adds anoter valve to it,making it 5 vales. u would think where to put it right?cos u only have 4 fingers on a hand.
well,ur 4 fingers from the right hand would play the main 4 valves while th index finger of ur left hand would play this 5th valve,with ur hand placed where it usually should be on a normal horn.
The 5th valve would lower the whole horn an octave down. So allowing the whole horn to play 4 octaves total....
well,those are my dream horn(s)...haha,and i know i'll nvr get them...
