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.

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.

9335NYS

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.

1510B 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.

B&S 3117/JH 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.

Votruba

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.
