Xeno Series

YTR-8445

Yamaha Xeno Series C trumpet.  Large bore, 4 7/8" bell, in silver plate.  This is a top of the line C trumpet, perfect for any style of player.  Great for orchestra playing, chamber music and solo work.  This horn sells for slightly less than a Bach 229, making it a great deal in a professional C trumpet.

Silver $1779

 

Xeno Artist Chicago

YTR-9445CHS

 

The new standard in C trumpets.  Developed by Bob Malone with the help from members of the Chicago Symphony, this trumpet is quickly becoming the most sought after C trumpet in today's ever expanding market.  This trumpet is consistent throughout all the registers and has an ease of playing that is unmatched.  Large .462 bore, Malone over/under style lead pipe, and the bell is unique in that it is tapered so it gets thinner towards the rim of the bell.  It's a great new development in trumpet manufacturing.  It's not cheap, but it's such a fabulous horn, you won't miss the money.  In silver plate with double case.

NEW

Professional C

Some friends in Europe recommended these fine rotary C trumpets to us.  These Votruba trumpets have gold brass construction with nickel trim and third slide trigger. They are built around the newly designed Meinlschmidt valves which gives a free open blow. One piece bell w/o kranz, mini-ball linkages. Intonation is spot on with these trumpets.  Sold polished and unlacquered without case. Lacquering and plating on request. Handmade in Vienna, Austria. Boyde Hood of the Los Angeles Philharmonic gave these a big thumbs up. When playing a rotary trumpet, it is crucial to have the correct mouthpiece. We recommend custom rotary mouthpieces from Josef Klier, and we have a selection in stock to fit your style.

Unlacquered $2600

Challenger II 3136JH

 

New German-made C trumpet with long leadpipe, reverse tuning slide.  Perfect craftsmanship and assembly. The valves are amazing. This one plays terrific, it would be hard to find a better C trumpet. The intonation is superb and the sound is colorful and powerful. We think this will be a nice substitute for a Bach 229 which can be hard to find these days.  Sold with case, silver plate. .462" large valve bore, 4 3/4" bell
