B&S MBX2 Prestige Bb Gold Lacquered - BSMBX2LR-8-0D

MBX2: the evolution of a signature model at B&S

Building on the success of the MBX, B&S offers the MBX2, a refined version in every detail, still developed in collaboration with Christian Martinez. The goal is clear: to maintain a trumpet with a strong character while improving attack precision, breath stability, and sonic coherence across all registers. B&S, a brand renowned for its expertise in brass instruments, delivers here a modern, performance-oriented trumpet where every evolution serves the musician's comfort and efficiency.

For which musicians and styles

The B&S MBX2 is primarily aimed at advanced and professional trumpeters seeking immediate response, solid projection, and a sense of control even at high dynamics. It is particularly suitable for contexts where articulation and presence are essential: jazz, pop, funk, lead, big band, studio, but also classical repertoire when a clear emission and excellent sound hold are desired. Its ergonomics and adjustments (such as the third valve slide lock) make it a reliable ally on stage, rehearsal after rehearsal.

Sound and design

The MBX2 emphasizes a sound that is both centered and present, with a quick response that facilitates note attacks and clarifies articulations. The new gold brass leadpipe, mounted in a reversed configuration and equipped with an "Over-Blow" system, promotes a more reactive air emission : the air column sets quickly, helping to stabilize intonation and maintain a homogeneous timbre during dynamic changes.

The 125 mm bell, thin, with a flat rim and wide flare, contributes to effective projection and good sound clarity overall. The dark-gold lacquer finish enhances the instrument's visual identity, while the aesthetic uniformity of the valve caps and bottoms provides a premium coherence. Finally, the addition of an ergonomic thumb ring improves grip and reduces fatigue during long sessions.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best from your trumpet and preserve its mechanics, you can pair it with essential maintenance items: valve oil, slide grease, trumpet swab, and microfiber cloth for the lacquer. These accessories help maintain consistent response, smooth slides, and a clean instrument daily.
