What's the WORST horn you ever had to play?

The trumpet I stared on in 1960. It was a Bell-Tone made by ??? Maybe for the Sears Roebuck Co. It was old when I got it from my dear old great aunt (thanks for family favors.) After I proved myself and the band director convinced my parents that it was a dog horn, I got a King Cleveland trumpet for Christmas. To me, that King was the most beautiful trumpet in the world.

As a matter of fact I have to play a Getzen Herald trumpet this afternoon.
Possibly the worst "real" trumpet I have played.
I haven't played any of the chinese or indian horns,,,,,,yet.

I inadvertantly typed in Getzen in the original post. My sincere apologies to Mr. Getzen.
