Nice man! Just wondering how much did you pay for it? When I was looking for a new trumpet for myself about 3 years ago I was either going to get a Strad or a Yamaha Xeno. I went with the Xeno because I heard the newer Strad's weren't very good because of factory problems or something. That's a sweet vintage one though so it must be awesome!

Actually now that I think about it, my private lesson teacher has an older Strad thats he's had for 30+ years I think. He loves his but he actually convinced me to buy a Xeno because they're machine made so they are all going to sound the same so you'll never get a bad horn he said. I don't know, but I went with the Xeno and love it! haha

I've heard good things about the Xeno! My private teacher knew the owner of the Strad I got. It's from around 78 I believe. I got it for $1500, which I understand is a really good deal for them from this era. It hardly looks like it's been played too, plus every part is original! My director at school who also is a trumpet player called it the Cadillac of trumpets yesterday haha. My private teacher was jealous I could find such a good horn locally; he bought an older Strad that he had to have shipped from Canada, then to a brass technician in Milwaukee.

Sorry for the wall of text! I'm just excited there's other players on NS!

That's awesome! $1500 is an awesome price! With every original part and having it look brand new, that's amazing! It really is the cadillac of trumpets like your teacher said. Have fun with it!

Oh I didn't eat them them all, I gave 8 away to my friends and saved two. But when a store has chocolate bars on sale for 5 for $3.00, you can't pass on an opportunity like that.

i'm not really sure, i don't think it's a problem as long as the driver isn't drunk last month we went to the art of flight premier and on the way back we were all drinking beers in the van (except our designated driver) we got pulled over for a routine alcohol controll and the officer tested the driver, he came out clean and he just said, be careful, have a good night !

so no, i don't think it's a problem in Belgium :)
