I was really impressed with this trumpet. A friend of mine has this trumpet for sale here: reverb.com/item/69083083-carol-brass-5060l-yss-lacquer I've told her she should NOT sell this trumpet but keep it, but still... She doesn't always listen to me. :) I'm not sure what makes this trumpet so good. I'm generally a Carol fan, but the SterlingSilver leadpipe may be what I notice; the trumpet just has a bit more zip or punch than most horns of this design.
One goes to a dear friend in the frozen northlands of Canada. The 6280 is being weighed in the balances... It's a nice player and a VERY pretty horn. I have to keep some of them, you know. :)
They sound good 👍 I also played many trumpets including Carol Brass, Schilke, Bach, Olds etc. Now I'm really enjoying a Getzen Eterna with sterling silver bell and a Kanstul French Besson Brevete trumpet. I use the sterling silver Lefreque. Best results so far. :)
I've had one of Kanstul's Brevettes; it's an excellent horn. I've had two of the Meha's as well (pretty similar). Those are very good horns. I've had two Getzens and two Lawlers (with Getzen valve blocks); they were all nice, but I've never had the Sterling belled Eterna... It sounds nice. :)
@@JonathanMilam1 thanks for your answer. I've seen your reviews of the Kanstul Brevette trumpet. I was very lucky that I picked up one of these in like new condition. The Getzen Sterling is even better. Will make a video of it on my "Brüder Meyers" channel soon. :)
I am VERY impressed. I'm thinking of having Charlie Melk use this body and make it a Schilke type tunable/removable bell. The intonation on this trumpet is SO nice... I'd love to hear how it plays with a Strad 72* bell, a 65G bell, and a nice, tight little Benge 2 bell... They're all just waiting for a body to latch onto. :)
Thank you, Chris. I always listen to my vids before I make them public (I don't want to overly embarass myself :) ), I was thinking today, 'I like that GR 63...'. Thanks for commenting!
Pretty shallow, Chris, but I'm not close to bottoming out on it. Not sure why, but it's pretty impressive. Here is GR's list... www.grmouthpieces.com/category-s/170.htm
Would you suggest or agree that with a 5060 CB is somewhat more difficult to get into high range than a Bach Stradivarius 37? I currently have a 5060 and want to sell to get a Bach. Tried Bach once and seemed easier to play - I’m intermediate player only. I want something if it does exist that makes for a bit of a walking stick for a poorer technique. 5060 has been good but I think a slightly more pro trumpet Bach 37 or Yamaha 8335 would help. Could I PPOs may be more wrong ? 👍😆
Roberto... The Carol 5060 is just about as good as it gets in trumpets, in my opinion. There is a bit more resistance in most Bach Strad horns, but it is 'planned' resistance, I think. Some people have better range with a Strad IF they know how to use the resistance, use the right mouthpiece, etc. I'm a huge believer in CarolBrass trumpets! BUT I do have 4 Bach Stradivarius trumpets at the moment. :) There is nothing like SHOWING a Strad when you go to play with other trumpeters. And the tone that I can get with a Strad is good (in my opinion); possibly because I am NOT a big wind guy, not a loud or dominant player. Yamaha's can be excellent horns - but will most likely be more like your Carol trumpet. If you can get a Strad on trial for a few weeks or so, then you can have your Carol and see which does you best. I believe Dillon ( www.dillonmusic.com/ ) and this place www.brassandwinds.com/ both seem to have good return options. Dillon's also often has a LOT of used trumpets - and still with good return options. The Mighty Quinn, brassandwinds.com, also runs B stock (slight problems with exterior finish, etc.) and used trumpets. It may be worthwhile to call and speak to both places; they have some excellent sales help; some of the salesmen and women are very good trumpeters. It's a bit rare, but if you can find a Strad with a 25-O leadpipe (O stands for 'open'), or a 43 leadpipe they play a bit mroe open - but they are pretty rare. Good luck - and feel free to keep in touch; I enjoy talking about trumpets. Contact me direct at djm8126@gmail.com if you like; it's easier for me to communicate there. Good luck!! :)
@@JonathanMilam1 I live in Australia and with the philosophy of I can only play one trumpet at the time I have just sold my 5060 and bought a new 180S37. That will be me for a few years now. Thank you for the great answer. I have just seen that Giuffredi has launched another version of his signature trumpet and I guess the quest for the one and only trumpet is an infinite space of entertainment. I still have my little CB pocket trumpet so that I have not left the family for good. Your demo videos are great and can't wait for the next! Thank you. Roberto
Well, it is hard to beat a Strad 37. :) I did find out a few years ago about MK tuning slides, and that makes them even better. I've got Bronze tuning slides to tone down the brightness of my lightweight bells, and I've got a Sterling Silver slide that'll brighten up any quiet bells that I have... Life is good. :) Let me know how you and your Strad get along, ok? Continued best wishes, Roberto!
Not sure what I meant there, Chris, I'd have to hear it in context if you can remember what minute I say it let me know. My recollection is that the Giuffredie was an open blow, can't recall what the word on the leadpipe was.
I am really impressed with the 5060 it produces a sound I like…thx great job

Hey Jonathan! Glad to see some Carol Brass horns. I didn't see them on your marketplace site on Trumpet herald.
One goes to a dear friend in the frozen northlands of Canada. The 6280 is being weighed in the balances... It's a nice player and a VERY pretty horn. I have to keep some of them, you know. :)
Jon - I agree with the other posters you sound really great on that GR 63Z. The 5060L really sang with that piece.
Go shallow or go home, is that what I'm hearing? :)
@@JonathanMilam1 well not exactly. You sound good on them all but that last piece you had it sizzling!
They sound good 👍 I also played many trumpets including Carol Brass, Schilke, Bach, Olds etc. Now I'm really enjoying a Getzen Eterna with sterling silver bell and a Kanstul French Besson Brevete trumpet. I use the sterling silver Lefreque. Best results so far. :)

Good to hear - and please send a link here when you do. I'd love to see it. :)
I see you still like the Carolbrass AG model.

I do enjoy the GR 63 ** you sound very nice on it
Thank you, Chris. I always listen to my vids before I make them public (I don't want to overly embarass myself :) ), I was thinking today, 'I like that GR 63...'. Thanks for commenting!
@@JonathanMilam1 is That GR 63** a very shallow or moderately shallow mouthpiece and do you know if there are shallower GR?
Pretty shallow, Chris, but I'm not close to bottoming out on it. Not sure why, but it's pretty impressive. Here is GR's list...

On the gio- Freddie you mentioned it has a “smaller” receiver-
Do you have measurements or does the mouthpiece stick out further
Not sure what I meant there, Chris, I'd have to hear it in context if you can remember what minute I say it let me know. My recollection is that the Giuffredie was an open blow, can't recall what the word on the leadpipe was.
