[TPIN] Need a Quality More Mellow Horn

[John Clark]

Maybe a heavyweight mouthpiece would help.  Or one of those sound sleeves that slides onto your mouthpiece.  Both seem to take some of the upper partials out of the sound.

I have a naturally bright sound regardless of mouthpiece but have learned to change the way I blow the horn to darken the sound up a bit.

I have a Bach Strad Model 37 My trumpet teacher noticed and commented  
several times that the horn has a bright tambour. I have been given the  suggestion 
that I look for a more mellow sounding horn from some in a jazz  group I play 
in. I am able to modify the tone but it's still too  bright for many things I 
play. I am open to another Trumpet or a  Cornet or modifications to my Model 
37 that are not too expensive. Flugal  horn is maybe too much of a change.
