General Comments
The Taylor Chicago Standard Large Bore in Raw Brass trumpet is marvellous. It is all you would hope a hand crafted horn to be. It has such a full sound. Don't buy this model if you play lead horn in a big band or do orchestral work, as it's sound is too dark. There are lighter and brighter models in Andy Taylor's range to do these jobs. This horn is exceptional for small ensemble jazz work, and it is unbeatable in the recording studio. The mechanics are fantastic and it is so easy to play. The raw brass finish gives it a touch more flexibility than other finishes, although some of the other finishes are visually stunning.
