Joey,

I wouldn't get caught up in the "horn-mania" that many players get caught up in. Decide what your playing needs and goals are, what your budget will allow and play as many different horns as you can. You may be much happier getting a 4/4 CC or BBb than spending mega-bucks on a 6/4 Nirschl or Hirsbrunner. They are great horns but there are other great horns out there as well which won't hit you as hard in the wallet. I think you might find that the 6/4 size horns wouldn't allow you the flexibility that you will need in college. You will need something to perform in brass quintets and for solos. Good luck! Dave
