I have a Bach Stratvarious Trumpet. I have been playing since i was in the 6th grade. It's been a while since i have played it because i'm in the military, but i plan on picking up on it again.. i love playing Jazz, funk, Ska, and classical.

Interesting. I am indeed a trumpet player, as is my brother and my father.

I have a Bach Stradivarious Model 43 with the rounded-crook and reversed lead-pipe.
It plays much smoother and opened it upconsiderably with these modifications.
I also have Bach Stradivarious Model 25, which cannot be purchased anymore.

I have a laundry list of trumpets for different applications.

I really love my horns.

I have:
Selmer Piccolo trumpet with many shanks.
Flugel horn, but only use it once in a blue moon.
Getzen B-flat Eterna II (early Doc Severinsen Model from the "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson")
Benge B-Flat with .468 bore (This is clearly a loud trumpet made for rodeos and situations where projection and cutting, solid sound is a must) It also takes a large amount of air to play.
Bach D-Trumpet
Getzen C-Trumpet (gotta love those nickel valve linings, smooth as glass) extremely smooth, but extremely precise.
No cornets.
