Give us context. 2B or not 2B? Mouthpiece, old Conn trumpet model? A note designation? _________________ huntman10

Some meaning for Conns.
B indicates that the instrument is a trumpet.
A indicates that the instrument is a cornet. |

2 is cup diameter and rim contour
B is cup depth and shape
Which has nothing to do with trumpet models you have in your list. |

My Dear PNut
2B, or not 2B--that was your question?
Do not be misled by those other unwary and unwashed trumpet stalwarts,
as they have been proselytized by the cunning workings of the vast Musical Industrial Complex; from which "2B" is only a code which naturally makes unsuspecting and frustrated musicians
Eager to Google search for new acquisitions.
We must all consider whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous and immediate material gratification,
Or to take arms against a sea of musical materialism
And by opposing, end the dominance of online buying.
To die, to sleep, to load up your Mastercard--No more--
and by a well attended practice room, with our goals well documented.
to say we end The heartache,
and the thousand unnatural purchases That flesh is heir to.
'Tis a consummation well to be pursued, unless of course, you
got that LUCKY LOTTERY TICKET!

When I read the title, I thought it was going to be about people sharing how they named their trumpet. That would be more fun.
I named mine Cornelia. |

It's easy. 2B is an other thing than 1B or 2C.
You understand? |

... or Denmark.
Anyway, what's in a name?
That which we call a 2B by any other name would sound as sweet. |

Was thinking the same thing. I'll admit I have an emotional attachment to the trumpet I play, but I haven't gone so far as to name it (other than 'the Olds'). I can see why people would do so though. |
