[TPIN] B&H Regent trumpet

[Geoff Sheridan]

I think you should play it without prejudice *first* and find out what others 
think afterwards. With the best will in the world you won't be able to play test 
it with full objectivity once someone says 'it's a cheap clunker' or 'it's a 
hidden gem'. Go and discover, isn't that more fun? What's stopping you having a 
blow? Then report back, we're as interested in your opinion as you are in 'ours'!
