Jon. That horn sounds way better than I had thought it would. My head has that as a Lead horn but it sounds really good with your deeper pieces. Nicely done.
That is a great question. The Giuffredi has a really big bell - and it’s thin metal. The thin metal makes it easy shape tone with different mouthpiece selection. And the intonation on the Giuffredi is impressive; at least mine was. I felt I had problems ‘filling the big bell’, and the sound in my recordings never matched the quality that I thought I heard in the room. This Yamaha is a more traditional structure; average bell size and heavier bell than the Giuffredi; tone is easier to produce and is solid, easy to mic. Intonation is good on this Yamaha too. My opinion; the Giuffredi is a great soloist horn if you’re a very good player. The Yamaha will be a better fit for most people, and it will blend with excellence in a band or orchestra setting. :)

Nice trumpet!
Fantastic trumpet! And since you're a part owner - thank you. :) By the way - love those sunglasses. :)
The MT Vernon 7C was pretty nibble with core.
I really like the sound of my GR pieces, but this Mt Vernon 7C impressed me. Thanks for commenting; always nice to hear from you. :)
How would you compare it to Carol Brass Andrea Giuffredi model ?
