If you could spend $1,000.....

If you suddenly found yourself with $1,000 in your pocket, what trumpet accessories would you spend it on?

I know I would buy some mutes I've been looking at, but I'm curious to see what everyone here would put that money toward.

I'd send a few horns off to Bob Reeves for much needed valve alignments.

I have a couple unique mpcs I'd like to have copied. After that, maybe a few mutes, such as a Robinson cup, some of the original pre-Micro Shastock mutes...

I'd buy some lessons, extra practice time, and recordings to inspire me and motivate me to practice!

Limited specifically to accessories I would probably go with .......

Coyote 2.5 (Not cuz I need it. Just cuz I want it)
Ray Robinson Mel-O-Wah (to complete my set)
Vintage Shastock Solotone

That would probably be right around $1000. Give or take a few $

Easy decision! I'd have my Yamaha 6335S replated. It's a very high mileage horn, but could be a long term horn for younger a generation!

Plane tickets and hotel to get a lesson or two from one of the great teachers I've heard so much about but never been able to see in person. Maybe two with $1k; the hard part will be choosing whom to visit.

Kanstul 700 in lacquer, $900 and a little online. And a fingering chart.

Lessons with me, if I wasn't me.

Seriously, I'd spend it on lessons with Arturo Sandoval. Even if he just reinforced what I learned from Claude Gordon, that would be a good thing.

A Monette Resonance piece and then...hmmm not much left after that

New bag to replace the aging leather triple that's starting to develop holes. Maybe one with wheels. Perhaps a GR consultation.
