C Trumpet
Starting at £2300 (plus vat if applicable) this C trumpet features a Hoxxon ML .460 bore valve block as standard with an optional upgrade to Meanlschmidt MAW valves or large bore if desired.
It has quite an open Malone style brass or sterling silver leadpipe and a brass or bronze D shaped tuning slide with AR Resonance waterkeys.
The bell is close to a 239 Bach shape and our recommended spec is 125mm one piece, side seamed 0.45mm gold brass, however any material or thickness could be ordered, as well as French bead rim.
Bb Trumpet
More info coming soon..
We’ve made a modular Bb for testing leadpipe and bell combinations. So far its been round a lot of UK based players for feedback. We’ve made a few from that feedback but haven't settled on a finished spec yet.
The modular version has 3 different leadpipe tapers, 8.8, 9.0 and 9.2 venturi and in brass, silver, bronze, copper and nickel. We’re leaning towards making the Bb feature the interchangeable leadpipes as standard as it makes such a huge difference and can give the player a very different change in sound and feel without totally changing the trumpet and with minor expense.
We currently have 2 bell shapes to offer, the smaller one is based on a Bach 43 and the larger on a Calicchio 3. Choices of materials and thicknesses are endless but we’ve stuck to 0.45mm thick in brass or gold brass for testing purposes.
The point of this modular setup is that you can come and try options, or try everything at home and choose from the menu your favourite combination and then have that made up into your trumpet. From sending it out to many players there’s a few combos that people are agreeing on, so we should have a decision soon for a couple of standardised specs as with the C…
