I bought my Challenger II from Bronstein's in South San Francisco in 2002. Also bought a Challenger I flugelhorn. Both brand new and it was only $2000 out the door total for both. They were such a steal back then!
B&S is a fantastic manufacturer!!!! All their brass instruments are fine, and the trumpets are 1st class👍 Hopefully they will become better know in the states.
's funny, i always said I'd never have a bach, but I've got a challenger l and, as the name implies, it 'challenges' bach. and i love it, love love love it. i don't care how it compares to bach, the leadpipe, the bell flare, the valve block, nothing, i don't care at all, i just know I'd take a B&S over a bach any day if the week.
