Well-recorded Trumpet

Ha! Which model of trumpet?

A Yamaha "Chicago"? A Getzen "Eterna"? A King "Silver Flair"? A Bach "Stradivarius"? A Jupiter XO 1600i (designed by my buddy Roger Ingram)?

Which mouthpiece? Which player? Which microphone? Etc.

Way back in 1974, I did a comparison of several well-known "studio" microphones. I'd have to go look at my notes to get the entire list, but a few of them were the Neumann KM84 and U87, the AKG C451, and a few others. Recorded at 15 ips 2-track on a modded (by Georges Quellet and John Curl) Stellavox Sp7.

They all sounded different from each other.

So, exactly WHICH trumpet/mouthpiece/player/microphone did you optimize your system for?

(BTW, I play trumpet, so I've got a bit of a handle on this.)
