[TPIN] looking for a good used C trumpet

Regarding a C trumpet, I agree with Tim. My transition from Bb to C in
the 1970s was easy. I did have to have my third valve slide trimmed a
bit because it threw my flat notes too flat for the benefit it gave to
the low C# & D. I've also had a cryo treatment done on it. 
But, for you who already play a Bach Bb and are familiar with how
registers feel and such, it's an easy transition. 
Just for reference, mine has the Aedelstein leadpipe (don't remember the
#) on it. And right this second, shame on me, I don't remember my bell
size although both bells mentioned by Tim Swenson will feel fairly
familiar.
