Someone has this trumpet? How does it sound?
How does it sound compared to a Stradivarius? |

I think it's Bach TR-200 with marked as an "Omega." It's a Bach intermediate/step-up horn.
Like any Bach (or most horns) if it plays well for you, then it's a solid horn. I've played a few, wasn't too impressed, but Bachs aren't really my cup of tea, generally. I recall them being slightly stiffer, slightly more resistant than a Strad, but these could vary between each specific horn.

No it is not the TR-200. First...... is the MG-290. Completely different, much higher quality. |

Why ask if you do not want to listen?
But yes, the omega 290 is a bach 200 series with a 3rd valve rod stop and fancier engraving. There is also a trombone version of the omega that is also a version of the 200 series trombone with fancier engraving. It is my understanding that they were sold to specific retailers as an "exclusive " line.
A few students at my University use them as marching horns, they tend to be tighter in blow, especially in the higher range, that your standard strad (25/37) and sound somewhat brighter. I have read that they have a similar bell to the 43, only two piece, but that could be wrong.
If you enjoy the horn, play it and do not worry about what it may be labled. _________________ several horns |

Don't read the marketing materials, look at the actual components.
The Omega is not "marked" as a TR-200. That doesn't mean it doesn't share most of the components and specs.
Again, if it plays well and you like it, then it's a good horn. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet
