Table of Bb Trumpet Weights

The following table summarizes data collected from a TPIN thread in December 2001 and subsequently.
 
Some of these values were obtained by actually weighing a horn on a postal scale (or similar). Others were obtained from catalog entries. Of course weighing a horn on scales is a more reliable indicator of its weight.
 
If your browser supports JavaScript, you can click on the column headers to sort the table. Sorting is cumulative, so if you click on WEIGHT(OZ) then on BRAND, you will get a table sorted by brand,with each brand sorted by weight. Clicking a second time reverses the order. It might not be useful to sort some of the columns, but that is up to you! Enjoy!
