Bass Trumpet options
Not sure if this is necessarily the best sub-forum for this topic, so mods can feel free to move it if you would like.
There is a good chance that the university I am attending may be purchasing one or two bass trumpets for use in the trumpet choir. It's something they've wanted for a while, and now might be the time to strike.
I might have some push in what brand/key of instrument they buy. With the context that this instrument will be used more-or-less exclusively for classical-style trumpet choir and the occasional orchestra piece, what would you all recommend?
I myself am leaning towards a 4-valve C rotary, with bonus points for Bb slides.
