New York model is listed as weight "heavy", the Chicago does not have the same listing, only the bell diameter. So, I am assuming that the weight is referring to the trumpet as a whole and not necessarily the bell. Sorry to ruffle anyone's skirts over that scandalous misstatement. |
seems the only ruffling is on your end, friend.
Your Chicago Bb is heavier than 37, or Chicago C? I don't get that same feel, but I have a Gen 2 9335CHS and it feels lighter than most 37's i come into contact with. I also stated that perhaps it's not actual weight so much as balance; what I mean by that is the horn feels very balanced from front to back and not heavier on the bell end like some horns can.

| This is an interesting thread. Does anyone know the differences between the 2nd and 3rd generation Bb models? Specifically the 9335IICHS vs. 9335IIICHS and 9335IINYS vs. 9335IIINYS? |

I believe the valve section is thinner on the III. I believe the leadpipe is slightly heavier. And, they ditched the roundish tuning slide (CHS) which was the main reason most didn’t love the II. Went back to traditional crook shape. |
