A Custom Series Designed with the Demands of Stage Musicians
Developed at the request of professional musicians and refined by master craftsmen, the trumpets of the Custom series embody a decidedly high-end approach: an instrument designed to deliver a rich sound palette, both warm and bright, with a true personality. The hand-hammered one-piece bell exemplifies this pursuit of artisanal precision in the service of projection and tone color. Depending on your aesthetic and tactile preferences, this trumpet is offered in lacquered brass or silver-plated.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This trumpet is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking an expressive, responsive instrument comfortable in a group setting. Its temperament makes it especially suitable for jazz, big band, and contemporary music, where attack precision and presence in the mix are essential. It is also well suited for trumpeters alternating between lead playing and section work, thanks to a balance of brilliance and warmth.
Sound and Design
The 11.65 mm bore promotes a stable airflow sensation and effective projection, appreciated when asserting oneself in a brass section. The hand-hammered one-piece bell provides a dynamic response and a more nuanced tone, with controlled brightness and natural warmth, ideal for jazz phrasing. The brass leadpipe and brass slides contribute to a homogeneous sound, while the Amado water keys prioritize discreetness and quick drainage. Finally, the presence of rings on the 1st and 3rd slides facilitates tuning adjustments in real playing situations.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the instrument's smoothness and longevity in daily use, you can complement it with piston oil, slide grease, a trumpet cleaning swab (with mouthpiece brush), and a microfiber cloth for care of the lacquered or silver-plated finish.
