Solo Max

Soloists looking for a horn to bring as much depth and body to their sound as possible, with a predisposition towards playing warm and sweet

BELL

Shape:

Large Taper
Bell diameter: 145mm (5.7")

Bell Material:

Stem: Copper
Flare: Phosphur Bronze

This bell has a medium taper throughout, but it's just a bit larger than average, which makes it great for producing a broader sound.

The final flare diameter is quite oversized compared to common trumpets and combined with the copper stem produces an incredibly wide range of tone colors, increased projection and a darker sound.

Leadpipe:

Machined in Yellow Brass
1.1mm (.043") wall thickness

Each trumpet comes with 2 slides of your choosing

VALVE CAPS

Light

Heavy Cap for 3rd valve

This horn produces a full-bodied sound complete with shiny overtones and warmth in all registers, at all dynamics and it's ideal specifically for jazz soloists/non-classical players who prefer an oversized bell horn.

We do not recommend this horn for orchestral players or classical players that play in a section.

An XL or XL2 cup will obviously have a huge tone but the really amazing combo with this horn is just how rich and full-bodied the medium cups sound. With the horn applying a filter of deep saturated tone color, the M cup sets off a canopy of shimmering fireworks over everything.

This horn plays with incredible stability and agility which gives you wings to musically go places you’d never even dare to try with most oversized bell horns.
