Courtois Confluence Bb Silver-Plated - AC335BML-2-0

The Confluence Range: Antoine Courtois' Excellence Serving a Modern Sound

The Confluence series was born from a notable collaboration between trumpeter Clément Saunier, artisan-creator Adrien Jaminet, and the Antoine Courtois Research and Development teams. The goal: to extend a historic expertise by offering trumpets with a distinctive sound identity, inspired by the French School, while meeting current expectations in terms of projection, intonation, and versatility.

Positioned as an ambitious and inspiring trumpet, the Confluence targets musicians who want a richer sound and reliable response, without acoustic compromises, to switch from one repertoire to another with the same ease.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

Thanks to its design focused on projection and balance, this B-flat trumpet suits both demanding amateurs and professionals seeking a versatile instrument. It naturally fits into classical music contexts (orchestra, ensemble, soloist), but remains equally relevant in pop, brass band, or modern repertoires where presence and stability are essential.

Sound and Design

The medium-large bore (11.65 mm) promotes comfortable breath and a feeling of freedom while maintaining structure in the sound. The handmade one-piece bell (123 mm diameter) contributes to clear projection and beautiful homogeneity across registers, with a timbre that remains elegant and controlled. The silver-plated finish provides a sober and premium look, often appreciated for tactile precision and stage aesthetics.

The Monel pistons are known for their robustness and consistency: an asset for chaining attacks and fast passages with a stable mechanical feel, serving musicality.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The instrument comes with a backpack case for 2 trumpets, practical for carrying your trumpet and a second instrument (or a backup trumpet) during rehearsals, tours, or conservatory sessions.
