Rotary Trumpets

Votruba - Josef Lidl - Kanstul - Scherzer

Votruba

Model

Rotary 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 Florian Schantl and Josef Klier (JK). Also available in Bb on special request.

 Unlacquered- $2600

It does include a trumpet sized mouthpiece with a slightly larger shank.  Plays very well and even in the registers and is a blast to play. A very rare instrument, occasionally used in the orchestra.  By special order.

8111 Bb/A Rotary Piccolo Trumpet

This tiny rotary trumpet is German-made, and has five keys: four for the rotors, and one for a third slide trigger, operated by the left hand.  Made of all gold brass and nickel trim, this is a stunning instrument.  If you have an inkling for a rotary piccolo, don't think you also need a piston version.  This one can do everything well, and it has a hot vibrant sound that projects without pushing, or without extra effort.  Includes four leadpipes, uses trumpet shank mouthpiece.
