Yeah man, 43 bell 25lr pipe...that would be my choice as well. I think the reverse lead-pipe is a huge "secret" that enough manufacturers don't use....that makes a VERY nice horn.
My C trumpet choice would be a raw brass 229 with a reversed leadpipe.
My choice of Bach piccolo trumpet setup would be one that actually played somewhat decently, and not worse than pvc pipe with a funnel on the end.

Say Dave Miller, what year is your horn there? Looks to be early, New York or Mt. Vernon perhaps. What have you all done to it, aside from bracing (what exactly?) and the trigger?

Hey, oneeyedhobbit!
My idea on this horn was to take a modern Bach and turn it into a NY/Mt.V style Bach. Here's a before/after image:
http://www.electrotheremin.com/072.jpg
This horn basically started out as a 1984 Bach!  It now has a longer style receiver, brass guides, early style bracing, and an older style main tuning slide crook. This horn was more of a compromise horn, retaining some modern features. I outfitted it with a trigger because that's what I'm used to. I kept the "centers" of the main crook the same as the modern Bach. (Early NY Bachs have narrower main slides). I completed it about 2 years ago.
I have also built several other horns based more on the early NY Bach than this horn. I have a page up about them here:
http://www.electrotheremin.com/project.html
(The horn at the top is really the best playing of them all)
You can take a tour of the entire process by taking this link:

(This is a custom horn I built for a client.)
Take care,

I have a few different horns, but I own a 43* with a 43 leadpipe. I had a standard silver 37 with a 43 leadpipe a while back. One of my friends begged me to sell it to him, and I regret it to this day. That horn played as good as my 43*.
So if I had to have one made, it would be a Standard 37, with a 43 leadpipe as well as a standard ML tuning slide (.459) and a standard large bore Tuning slide(.462).
