getting back into it after a few years?

[chef8489]

It has been 3 years or so since I have touched a horn. I was getting back into it back in 2013 and 2014 and was playing on a 1.5b. Before that it had been many years. Probably a decade since I had touched a horn .I was playing for therapy for myself and nothing more but was pretty comfortable on my 1.5b. Here it is and I might have the opportunity to get another student horn donated till I can save up to get a better horn. Living in a veterans quarters due to separation with wife in 2015 and my injuries from the military causing more problems now. It will take me quite some time to save up for a decent horn again like the silver sonic symphony I had or something else like a silver flair or a Bach, but at least it is a start if the person comes through. They teach a History of Jazz class here tonight and teacher is a cornet player. He found out I played and was interested in helping if he could.

So what say you. Should I go back to a 1.5b or maybe a 3b. I love the dark sound the b cups always gave me and that's usually why I stuck with them in the past. I know the 3c and 5b I had did not suite me. The 5c felt too small. Thanks. for the advice again and feels good to be back chatting.

Seems like you've answered your own question. You liked the 1.5b and used it; no reason to change now IMO.
