Where do 'want-to-learners' now go for info ?

Yes there is a slow stream of new people who stick around as semi-regulars, but there are many one-timers who (it seems to me) get good advice, but don't continue to pursue it. Are the one-timers completely resolved and have no further need, or what?

In many posts acting for help, the OP gets plenty of feedback, but rarely is there a simple quick fix, and rarely feedback from the OP about what worked, etc.

Is actual discussion about 'what is involved in playing the trumpet' that daunting?

Don't feed the troll. There are a few of these lame posts about BAC's product line.

Well, I'm from the 50s and 60s and it was rare where I lived to see one. I think a particular influence is that they were thought of mainly as a "Jazz horn" and everyone mostly was looking for versatile horns.

Note that I didn't say the horns couldn't play outside the Jazz style, just that that was the general impression. I actually remember trying one out and wanted one badly but we could hardly afford one MOR horn (Connstellation), much less two.
