Trumpet

I want a new trumpet, and not another used trumpet that is just new to me. I want a brand new trumpet that doesn't have valve issues or sticky valve slides if I don't use steel wool on them once in a while. There are a few trumpets that I have considered, all of which I cannot afford. So, I'll let this blog just be my fantasy trumpet collection. :)

#1: Bach Model LR180S37 (Stradivarius Reverse Tuning Bb Trumpet)

"Stradivarius" - .459" Medium-large bore, lightweight body, standard weight yellow brass one-piece hand-hammered #37 bell, reverse construction #25LR mouthpipe, monel pistons, silver-plate finish."

#2: Generation III C Trumpet; .462" bore

The Generation III C Trumpet works exceptionally well in the orchestral setting. The sound and blend of these new instruments is unparalleled.

The Gen III C Trumpet offers an integral leadpipe system which allows a player to change leadpipes efficiently. This design creates improved stability throughout the harmonic series compared to non-modular trumpets. Generation III Bells are handcrafted (one-piece) in yellow brass available with either 4 7/8" or 5 1/4" bell flares. Valve sections are constructed with nickel silver pistons in either vented or non-vented valves. Vented valves create an effortless approach to using the first and third valve slides as they move freely whether the pistons are in the up or down position. They seal as well as standard valves and possess the same playing characteristics as a standard valve set. The Generation III tuning slide is oval in shape. This unique design allows the instrument to play very even in all registers. It also allows the extreme upper register to respond faster than on standard instruments.

#4: Getzen Bb Fluegelhorn

The 3895 Custom Series flugelhorn is a completely new design built around a small (.420") bore valve set featuring nickel silver valve balusters and our famous, nickel silver pistons. By far, the most important advancement of this design is the all new, revolutionary first branch (bell to valve set). This new branch has been nicknamed the "Tone Branch" because of the dramatic effect it has had on this flugel, making the 3895 perhaps the most in tune flugelhorn ever built.








#5: Newly-Designed Long Model Four-hole System Baroque Trumpet
Naumann Baroque Trumpets are hand-crafted by Andrew Naumann, President and CEO of Schilke Music in Chicago. Naumann trumpets are available in both 3- and 4-hole models with two bell models, J.L. Ehe, II (ca. 1720) and J.W. Haas (ca. 1720).
Crooks are offered in keys from low A thru Eb in half steps (a=440 Hz). Each Naumann Trumpet comes with a standard set of four crooks (Cb, C, Db, D). Crooks built in other tunings (ex. A=430) are available but considered a special order with an additional charge.
This Newly-designed Baroque Trumpet is a the best 4-hole instrument to come out of the Naumann workshop. The trumpet has an Ehe II bell and includes crooks, leadpipes, and yards in four keys (Cb,C,Db and D), a custom case and mouthpiece. The case is a hard shell case built specifically for this instrument.



As a trumpet player there are other instruments I will need (A D/E-flat trumpet and a F trumpet), but for now any or all of these would be nice. :)
