These brand new, shiney bits of metal have no soul. My silver cornet brings more respect to the Last Post than they ever could. Honestly. I really want an old one.
Appreciate the TM link though.
As someone who has been a Musician for many years (Percussion is my Forte)
No.
For the Love of God, no.
I will expand upon my comment: If I were in a position to play the last post, I would make sure that I did my best performance, to honour those that died, I would want to use the best possible equipment to ensure I could give my best performance. I feel that to deliberately use something just because it is old (unless it was one that was actually carried in the war) would be ostentatious, and would be drawing attention away from where it belongs: Reflecting on the Fallen.
Finally as for Soul - unless you are a top notch Bugle player (and I mean this with no disrespect) then you are unlikely to be able to release said Soul. Even a Stradivarious would sound horrible in the hands of a learner.
