Yamaha trumpet.?

I've been searching for a bright tone on a Yamaha trumpet but all I can find is Yamaha trumpets that have a dark tone. If anypne can find a bright trumpet that would really make my day. Please help!

Yamaha trumpet.?
If you can afford it, I highly recommend the Schilke B4 model. I've played on one a few times and it was great for church gigs or outdoor playing. Here's how the Schilke website describes it;





Model B4 Bb Trumpet


Bore: M -.450" (11.42 mm)


Bell: M – 5" (127.00 mm) Yellow Brass Bell with #3 taper





This medium bore model tends to play broader yet brighter then our model B6. The B4 will appeal to a player looking for a brilliant sound, that desires efficiency with additional resistance.
Reply:I own a Benge that I purchased for only around $700 (i bought it from a friend) that was in perfect condition. It was one of the ones from like the 70's.





I'm not sure what model it is, but its really light, adding brightness to the sound, MLP bore, really really free blowing. It has great intonation, can blend, but when you need a bright sound that either cuts or sails over the rest of the ensemble, it comes through perfectly.





I'm not so sure about the new Benges, I think they got bought by Selmer, but aren't handmade any more.





If you can find an old one thats in good condition, go for it because they're usually resonably priced.
Reply:um. i would recomment just going to the store and specially requesting one. otherwise,
