Sounds like a good plan! I'm especially curious about the 7660. That's one of the only CBs I've never played. |

What did you think of it, and what do you normally play? _________________ I may toot in tune, but I can't tune a toot. |

This makes sense. I just got a quote on a custom 4440 and I was surprised at how high it was. Thanks.
Still love my Carols, but new ones aren't the screaming deal they were. |

I have the 506 and a nickel silver version, the 530, which are both great vanilla trumpets (my son plays the 530). I have a 7770, which I don't like quite as much. I also have some of the earlier Mauriats, which are similar to this trumpet and have the same leadpipe:

I like almost everything CB makes. I've played through a lot of their horns at a convention and also at a shop. It makes sense to me that they'll start charging more. I even like their mouthpieces (I have a 3c and a 1.5). I feel like the quality control is really strong. |

99% sure the ones I have are CB. Same leadpipe that CB has on their Baro trumpet and all the parts are interchangeable. |

I had a Carol 5060H-GSS about a decade ago. I don't remember how it played really as I sold it to by a different trumpet, but I also haven't picked up another Bb trumpet since that I thought was a better instrument. Different, yes, but not better. It wasn't 'special' but it was a great instrument that I wish I'd kept because I got it when they were still a real bargain from Thomann's. I'd love to play it again and see what I think of it now, years later. Alas, with the increased prices I'm not tempted to buy one, I'd want to play it again first. Where as I originally bought it because it was a bargain and I was curious about the fuss |
