It has a light bell like the B&S Challenger 3137 1. Are they similar in sound? What are the differences?

Nice video Jon. I prefer the sound of a good trombone player over the trumpet generally, as I lean towards lower soprano on down, although I like flute and some trumpet soloists kick butt, but I really do like the flugelhorn sound best. I've been listening to Wilbur Harden on my old circa late '50's Yusef Lateef albums. 👍 Can't play brass instruments, but I do play alto and tenor sax, and also flutes. I'm a woodwinds dude lol 🎷😉

I just bought a 1965 6B and I'm totally in love with that little horn. Did you ever play one of these? I'd be curious to get a comparison between the 7B and the 10B. Rhanks!

All sounds good, no difference. Maybe there is a difference of feel for the player. As a hobby trumpet player I found significant difference only between the mouthpieces. With a good mp any trumpet sounds good.

Great video. I closed my eyes and listened. I give the slight nod to the Mendez

I agree. Bach Strad had a mellower sound. The Bachs must be either (I believe) either New York or Mt Vernon Bach. The current renditions are no comparison to those!

Well I'm curious... Have you ever tested a .470 Callett Soloist or a Calicchio?

Hi Jonathon, I think the Mendez has a more mellow tone and you seem to be able to articulate it easier than the Bachs,

I love my Olds 47' Standard. If anyone has any insights as to how the Standard fits into the evolution of Olds horns, I'd love to know. I thought I heard that the Standard was the precursor to the Super, but am not sure.

Love your videos Jonathan. That Olds Mendez, I have the exact horn with spring 1st and 3rd valve slides. Looks to be in the same shape. Great sound on that horn.

Jonathan, you sounded great. The symphony sounds amazing and the Recording sounds the best to me. I picked up a 1953 Recording in Mint condition that has great valves and a beautiful sound. I discovered when I took it to rehearsal that it projected really well. Better than any of my other horns.

Even though I've played Bach strads before, I would probably go with the schilke. I think in general I find Bach trumpets a little on the resistant and restrictive side for me, And I tend to prefer a horn that is in general more open and freer blowing, which is what schilke trumpets tend to be. But I definitely would like to try a Bach Stradivarius LR trumpet with a reverse lead pipe, from what I've seen online they play and feel fairly open

Is this herb Alert trumpet type?

BTW, these run 0.438" bore and a smallish bell where most modern trumpets are ~0.460ish with a bigger bell. Not quite a true "peashooter" but the wrap is on the tighter side compared to your typical Besson clone. I've done some cleanup on mine. It's just brass and old lacquer that looks pinkish when there's just a little of whatever they used on the base layer. The Easy Off works for the most part, but there are some spots that just won't break up for whatever reason.

You are cool. Play it again...

The Shires doesn't sound as good as the Edwards. Maybe you were a bit more warmed up but the Shires is a good comparison to a Bach strad sound wise; it's tinny...😢

I have the Hammond organ (not a B3, an M-100) that my parents bought in the mid 1960's. As you said, we're not keyboardists but it offers a respite from trumpet. A fellow is starting a school here in the mid-coastal east area of the US to train technicians and since I have experience in electronics repair it would be nice to learn some of the tricks of the trade and help other owners.

Jonathan, nice job on this utube. I played the Severinsen Model professionally for 14 years on the road

❤ beautiful gift you have and have shared!! Thank you!

Curry large throat DV cup mouthpiece. Thanks for telling me about that. I plan to look into it.

"Ian White"? Isn't it N H White? Did you misspeak when you said trumpet for that cornet? Because of corrosion, I would avoid putting my bare hand & fingers on that horn. Don't you have a white velvit glove? I think that the Silversonic Trumpet has a sterling silver lead pipe (after the mouthpiece) in addition to the sterling silver bell. What about this corner? I think that these instruments deserve a (sterling) silver mouthpiece & that Yamaha used to make one. donno about now.

Great video Jonathan. The music teacher in my school wants me to play the flugel, should I get the piston ones or rotor ones?

never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you

Hello Jonathan, seeking your advice please. If you could purchase 1 of the following trumpets all for the same price and condition which would you choose please? I should also mention I have the opportunity to purchase one, however, "unplayed" due to being such a distance from them all. To be played at military funerals and special events (Australia) and for personal pleasure and then one day pass onto my children.

Bach 182. The Woody Shaw Flugelhorn

Nicely done. This is lovely content and I salute you for trying to keep your chops together while having a day job. Those of us who do it for a living have a hard enough time doing the same. Bravo.

The trumpet with the flugel mouthpiece sounds very similar to the cornet.

How does this horn compare to a modern 8310z Bobby Shew horn?

Linda demostración maestro felicidades!! Una consulta tengo una trompeta Frank holton T-602 USA. ¿Que gama o nivel es respecto a comparación con otras trompetas de marcas conocidas del mercado?

Would you suggest or agree that with a 5060 CB is somewhat more difficult to get into high range than a Bach Stradivarius 37? I currently have a 5060 and want to sell to get a Bach. Tried Bach once and seemed easier to play - I’m intermediate player only. I want something if it does exist that makes for a bit of a walking stick for a poorer technique. 5060 has been good but I think a slightly more pro trumpet Bach 37 or Yamaha 8335 would help. Could I PPOs may be more wrong ? 👍😆

That's a very nice horn just by looking at it through the video. Question though, what is the resistance factor on that horn compared to the Bobby Shew horn from your own perspective? I'm asking because I've tried out a shew horn but I've never tried this bergeron LA horn. I'm not the greatest trumpet player in the world, but I have tried out quite a few to know what it is I prefer in a horn.

You would like our regional airline. Some of the planes land on beaches and you sometimes get livestock in the cabin if they are being taken to the mainland for medical treatment. I have done a lot of long haul flights and the quality is quite variable. One secret i have found is that if you are nice to tge cabin crew they will look after you. One time i was stuck at an airport with one of the kids and there was a plane problem. One woman was screaming at the cabin crew who were also at the gate that she needed home for a dinner party. I just said to the flight attendant i needed to get my boy hone for his bed and she said i would be fine. The shouty woman didnt get on the next flight but we did.

Grew up in an aviation family, flew commercial once in May 1987 and again in Feb 2015. Hundreds of hours in GA mostly Beech Bonanza and B-55 Baron with my late father. The first commercial flight was to a wedding here in the U.S. second was to Amsterdam to meet my (now) fiancee. On the way back home, she and I took the train from Swisshotel to the airport (Shipol) and a fellow boarded and sat across from us. I thought he was second officer, maybe a pilot so I began questioning him; he hardly responded. Couple hours later I am in my seat getting ready to leave for Virginia; about a 10-hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Guess why I about jumped outa my seat when someone tapped me on the shoulder and said "Mr. Woods?". It was the fellow, he had looked at the passenger manifest...very well mannered flight steward who I finally got to talk to. You have the same dna that this guy had, it would be a pleasure to fly on your airline when you're working. I'll bring a trumpet...

Hi Jonathan, I just got an Olds Super made in the mid 50s. I think the Super is one of Old's brightest sounding horns. Thanks for the Rawlin mouthpiece reference. One more search for me! BTW, I still intend to send some photos of my Selmer Paris trumpets and cornet. Sorry for the delay.

The throat on the mouthpiece made for my Monette P3 trumpet was a #7 throat! It was an STC3, so the heaviest weight they make.

On the strad does the tuning bell give more open blow?

Jonathan, of the Monettes I think you sounded the best on the Prana. I loved your sound on the GR and the MT Vernon. I sent the Unity I had back. MY GR 65M with Symphonic Back Bore and my Reeves 42S worked for me much better.

Nice demo and insights, Jonathan. It sure is a little annoying that “C” doesn’t mean the same thing across (a) different diameters and (b) different eras of manufacture in Bach’s lineup. What I heard from listening to your samples back to back (granted, somewhat subjective) was what I expected to-the “shallower” C cups (those being the 3 and 1-1/2) did indeed sound a bit bigger but had a bit more front to the notes and more concentration in the higher frequencies despite being “bigger.” You sound most at home on the 7C, but that is likely because I also tend to prefer the sound of deeper cups, as the 7C pretty clearly had in comparison to the others. I am an “A” guy myself-my main piece is a one-off Megatone 1-1/2A I found used six years ago and fell in love with. I’ve used it so much that I more or less can’t play anything else for long, although a GR 67M doesn’t hurt for lead. I’ve been in the process of trying Bach’s other more common “A” cups. The 5A does indeed feel reasonably like what 8mm used to, because as Gordon pointed out, Bach 1-1/2 and 5 diameters seem to share a certain closeness. Probably the rim shape of the 5 being a little sharper and lending itself to a wider-feeling ID even if nominally it should be a little smaller. With that said, however, the modern variant of the 7A, with Bach’s sharper new contour, is also quite the draw for me, as it is also quite a bit deeper than the other A’s. The corporation-era 7A, meanwhile, still has that depth I like, but the rim is too “comfy” and wide! The main issue is that the rim being less sharp really does affect the feel of the ID, and so older Bach 5 and 7 sizes tend to feel tighter for me.

Buying it. New Jupiter, THREE Dillons. New Yamaha, FOUR Dillons.

Xeno is a rich sounding horn not sure what it sounds from your end …

Don’t know what it is about the Strad’s but the just sound better ….nevertheless they all sound wonderful.

How much for the silver one? It can be shipped here in ph? Hoping to get play trumpet again

Wow what a distinct sound difference between them all. I kind of lean towards that Edwards sound.

Great review and horns, Jonathan!

Jonathan, you have tried so many horns, mouthpieces and equipment. Thank you for that. I have a GR 65M and a Reeves 42S. Both are great pieces but when I got the Reeves it was so easy to buzz and get a sound out. The Reeves is definitely easier blowing. I have a Monette unity B6-7 (which is similar in size) I am trying. I have to send it back by next Friday if I decide not to keep it. So far I like the GR and Reeves better. However, later today I am going to test it again and see if there is a difference in projection and sound focus from the other side of the bell. My fiancé is going to help. So, we’ll see. Thanks again Jonathan!

You are so knowledgeable! God bless you! 🙌🏼 🙏🏼

only the trumpet seems to have that bark, however the flugel sounds almost like it's made of wood. the cornet seems to have the most articulation, the sound is least interfered with. i need all of these, and i can't even play wind. thank you very much for the information.

I have always liked the Olds Trumpets. I have a gorgeous Olds Recording. It is funny that he said he would be happy to play an Ambassador. I remember reading that when Olds asked Uan Rasey to play Olds trumpets - especially the Recording model. He didn't like the offset valves and he said just send him over an Ambassador - which shows how great those horns they were. Jonathan, you sound great of the horn.

Even it is a modified Ambassador there’s no shame in that they’re fabulous horns with their own sound. Nevertheless this trumpet is as you said “ what a trumpet should sound like” ….good seeing you, sir.

Hey Joe, I like what you had to say. I have an Olds Super Recording. I haven’t played in many years. Enjoyed what you had to say. We’ll be checking you out. Iove the the originators:
