Where to order multiple trumpets to compare?

I'm looking for an instrument company that I can order a few trumpets from to compare and possible purchase, specifically piccolos. And would getting three different brands at once be too much to ask for?

Also, how could I find one I like better over the others if I have never really played on one before. I'm going to sound equally terrible on all of them until I've had time to develope pic. chops. Would I be able to test them for a lengthy period of time?

Thank you for all your help on my previous thread which helped me narrow down some brands.

By the way, I live in Texas, South of Houston, just incase location is important to finding a company.

I'll second that, when I bought my Courtios Evolution I they sent me three horns and one was just a little better for my playing than the others. I remember that the ones they sent were all sequential. I picked the earliest of the three... LOL
