Great review and horns, Jonathan!

[@JonathanMilam1]

Great to hear from you, Jon! Too long a time. :) Thank you - they are three fine horns. :)

[@golf4funjn532]

@@JonathanMilam1 Sounding good on the Look Of Love also!

[@gregorypicazohornguy3054]

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

[@JonathanMilam1]

Glad you can detect the difference! Yhey are all 3 good horns, but the Edwards, perhaps because of its heavier, larger bell, does have a powerful yet warm sound. thanks for commenting! :)

[@pebblebeach8517]

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

[@JonathanMilam1]

3 great horns, really. I could live with any of them. :) I tend to like a small, lighter bell horn, and I've got a Bach Strad 43* that I really like, and an Olds Mendez that I'm really crazy about too. Too many great horns around, actually. :)

[@apeschell]

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

[@JonathanMilam1]

Funny, but I've had 3 or 4 tuning slide horns and I haven't noticed too much difference. Maybe a bit of tonal difference with the missing brace by the bell, but one can get a removable brace for that. The Blackburn leadpipe probably has more effect on the blow of this trumpet - and his leadpipes are famous for a reason; the blow and intonation are hard to beat. Great question!! :)

[@apeschell]

Would love to try one! And hear the 37 bell difference too

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

[@JonathanMilam1]

The Shires is $1495 and shipping to the Philippines would be about $120. I could sell and ship it for $1550 if you are interested.

[@JujuDeMusica-jn3hg]

Can it be still lower to $1200 including shipping? Also what is the price of the other 2? All of them sounds good

[@JonathanMilam1]

I'm asking $1795 for the lacquer (gold color) Edwards Gen II, and $2495 for the Stradivarius trumpet with 2 bells. I don't want to go as low as $1200 for the Shires at this point. But if you are patient and I don't get my asking price in the next few weeks, we might be able to sell near that price. Thank you for offering, too!
