I have played the euphonium for a few years now, and have played a little trumpet on the side. I am beginning to make the trumpet my primary instrument. I need one, but I dont know what to get! I have researched for a few months and the best thing I could find that had what I wanted was a Bach LT180 Strad with a #43 bell. I have $2500 to spend and I like a bright, lively tone, good enough for a jazz soloist. I would also like a good mouthpiece to go with it.

You may get a better response on the trumpet forum with this question.
