Roy Lawler
|
C-7 |
Bb |
Custom professional trumpet hand made by Roy Lawler in , TN.
Modeled after the vintage Martin Committee, but made with a
Bach-style straight .460" bore. Pistons and bell are made by
Getzen; the rest of the parts are made by Roy himself. The
bell is a 2-piece style, made on a Martin-style mandrel in gold
brass. This horn is made for the commercial player who wants a
slightly warmer sound than the big band lead player might need.
It's a very unique look. simple ferrules without beauty marks,
straight braces between bell and lead pipe, custom receiver,
adjustable first and third slides, signature finger hook.
Leadpipe is gold brass and finger buttons are pearl. A local
working pro had this custom made for him, but during his wait for
the trumpet he fell in love with another model, and couldn't keep
both. This horn has about a week of light use on it.
Very distinctive horn with a hand made look. It's not as
cleanly finished as you might see from Yamaha, but this horn has
character, and is a popular jobbing horn, though rarely seen out
West. Polished with clear lacquer finish. Sold without
case. http://www.lawlertrumpets.com/

8310Z Bobby Shew certified |
Bb |
Professional Yamaha trumpet, the popular YTR-8310Z Bobby Shew model. A
terrific trumpet for all around work. Terrific intonation, sound and
construction makes this model one of our most popular instruments in
the shop. This used trumpet belonged to a local professional here in
Los Angeles. He has recently made the switch back to Bach trumpets
so this rare horn is for sale. Bobby Shew gets a small select batch
of these trumpets from Yamaha for him to tweak to play exactly like
his own personal 8310Z. This is one of those special horns and
includes a signed certificate to show that this horn was tuned up by
Bobby prior to sale. It is in excellent shape with the exception of
some minor lacquer wear around the valve cluster. No case included.

Bb |
The YTR-9335NYS was designed for the professional trumpet player that
needs a high quality instrument that will respond well in any
situation or playing style. This is Yamaha's top of the line
Bb and is assembled by hand at their custom brass/ pro shop
facility. The New York trumpet was born of a collaboration between
brass expert and trumpet alchemist, Bob Malone and Cleveland
Orchestra trumpeter Robert Sullivan. The bell flare has a
French bead bell rim with a low dome wire, improving the sound
projection from the bell. Yes, it works. It also features a MC2NY
leadpipe, based on Malone's classic leadpipe designs while he was
building trumpets here in Los Angeles.

This is one of the new professional level Bb's that Yamaha has to
offer. Hand assembled at Yamaha's custom brass/pro shop
facility. Have you ever found it difficult to switch between
your Bb and C during performance? This horn eliminates the
transition period. Developed by Bob Malone and John Hagstrom,
this horn features many of the characteristics of the rest of the
Artist Series Line of horns. The combination of the Variable
Thickness Wall Bell, French Bead, MB1 Malone leadpipe, which Bob
developed during his years in LA, and the superior craftsmanship
that the Yamaha Company is known for really makes this horn stands
out from the rest. |

C |
This new C trumpet is designed by Byron Autry and Doc Severinsen, and
was formerly to be marketed as the Severinsen Destino C trumpet.
Apparently the Destino line will no longer be marketed, but this
horn is now available as a Kanstul model. It has a 239 style
bell, .462" valves, a reverse tuning slide with the Bob Malone style
over/under sleeve, a harmonic balancer on the first slide, and a
special leadpipe and receiver, fitted by Byron Autry himself (as if
Kanstul doesn't know what they're doing, ha). One-piece hand
hammered, hand spun bell. This is a C trumpet that will
immediately feel familiar to the Bb player, with a wider, mellow,
open feel with plenty of projection. I think it will become
one of the favorites here. Sold without case or mouthpiece. |

Eb/E |
This is an incredible Eb trumpet. Notice it's Eb/E, not Eb/D.
Cool. It has this huge sound that's so big, it sounds like a C
trumpet. It has adjustable bell tuning, and no tuning slide at
the leadpipe for a superior perfectly tapered pipe into the valves.
The four piston valves make the low notes available and in tune, and
the E side, which includes a second bell and set of crooks, makes it
versatile for the occasional solo in the odd key. This reminds
us of the Wallace/Voigt Eb, except this one has the sleeker
no-tuning leadpipe. If you need an Eb for the effortless high
range but want a big sound like a C, this is the trumpet.
Includes body, both bells, 2 sets of slides, and hard case with
zipper closure. Silver plate.

Rotary
|
C |
With rotary trumpet excerpts being asked for on more trumpet auditions,
players have been asking us to stock a few rotary C trumpets.
Some friends in Europe recommended these fine professional rotary C trumpets to
us. We were
impressed! Votruba trumpets are stock with gold brass bell construction with nickel trim and
third slide trigger. 3 weights of bell thickness are offered,
but we usually order medium weight bells.
They are built around the newly designed Meinlschmidt professional
rotary valves which gives a free open blow and precise action. One piece bell w/o kranz, mini-ball linkages. Intonation is spot on.
Each trumpet is handmade in
Vienna, Austria by Thomas Votruba. We recommend a Florian Schantl rotary trumpet mouthpiece to go
with this trumpet. Raw brass, lacquer, silver plated or gold plated options available.
Vienna keys are also optional. Extra charges apply.
In Stock, gold brass bell, silver plated with a Vienna key.
