Bach TR300 Trumpet - Any comments?

[mkyarm]

So I have a Bach TR300 Trumpet that I've had for probably about 5 years. I got it when I started Band. It came from a pawn shop in super nice condition for only $100 and my dad thought it was a really good deal. (He used to play the trumpet as well.) I've never had any problems with it until now. It's just a super minor problem that might not be a "problem". We are playing this song in Class called "Trumpeter's Lullaby" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2A99pt-hdA There's a link for everybody that has never heard it before. On my trumpet, I'm having issues with tounging. It very well could be me seeming as I've only been playing for 5/6 years and I play the trombone half the time as well. But when I switched trumpets with two of my friends just to try out theirs, they both commented that mine is super hard to tongue cleanly on. My one friend plays a super nice silver Bach Strad. I'm just wondering if it's my trumpet particularly or if anybody else was having these issues. I've seen reviews on it but I've only seen that people think it has a nasty higher register. It'd be great if anybody could tell me what they think!

Thanks!

When I was in band class I got a trumpet from a pawn shop to have my own,
and get away from the cornet they gave me. But I never got good.

So I can only say about your Bach trumpet what they said about Bach,
when he was hired by a city to be their resident player and composer.
The good ones they wanted were all too busy, so they had to make do with Bach.
Sounds like you're doing the same thing.
