An Established Reference Over Time: The Capri Series and Its Positioning
Manufactured in the USA, the Capri series has established itself over the years as a reliable choice for trumpeters seeking an instrument of excellent craftsmanship. With over 30 years in its category, it is recognized for offering a convincing balance between playing comfort, precision, and power-a trio particularly sought after when aiming to reach new technical levels without feeling limited by the instrument.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This Bb trumpet is primarily aimed at ambitious beginners and intermediate players who want a reliable instrument to work on tone, articulation, and endurance. Its projection and precision make it an excellent choice for classical, brass band, wind orchestra, and pop music, while remaining responsive enough to approach jazz and more rhythm-driven repertoires.
Sound and Design
The Capri series focuses on a direct response: emission is facilitated, which helps stabilize the air column and build a centered sound. The 11.68 mm bore contributes to an open playing feel, with generous projection and good control across dynamics. The silver-plated finish provides an elegant aesthetic and pleasant touch, while promoting a clear attack and sound presence appreciated in ensembles. The maillechort components (leadpipe and slides) contribute to robustness and stability of daily adjustments.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The trumpet comes with a 7C mouthpiece and a "Luxe" case. For routine maintenance, adding a trumpet swab, valve oil, and slide grease is recommended to keep the mechanics smooth and the slides perfectly sealed.
