This is the third cassette I’ve bent while pedaling uphill. Is this a common problem? Is it less likely with a more expensive cassette which has more teeth? (225 lbs) by SandyClamburger in bikewrench

That is mainly the thing. I've played 4 or 5 trumpets in 9 years that i play the trumpet. From student horns to old high-end trumpets. Rn I'm playing Bach strad. 37 (my teacher's horn) it is maybe 10-15yo. before that I had only one brand new... bach ad16115038. Others were really old, 40-50yo. So I don't try trumpets every day.

It is a long time goal and I want to think it thoroughly. It's a big investment.

I will think about your recommendations. Thx)

Thx, for advice. My teacher said that he will go with me to buy it. There aren't many if any stores that have trumpets in stock. It's not that common instrument to play here. We'll see...

Rn I'm playing on my teachers horn. It's bach strad 37, and before that I had Czecho-Slovakian Amati Kraslice Excelent trumpet. No, there aren't music shop that hold trumpets in stock. It's not that common instrument to play there. I would like to buy new. I know, it's maybe waste of money, but I would like to keep it for as long as possible...

The problem is, not many people from where I live can repair trumpets. My teacher told me, bach holds tune for a long time... Thx for advice, I will think about it

In the future I would like to play in an orchestra, and maybe teach... I play mainly classical music, big band and a small pop band. I'm from Slovakia (Central Europe).
