btw I am using a few of my synthetic prototypes (with a KGU sleeve) on this clip! www.austincustombrass.biz/all-new-for-2024-rapid-prototyping-acb-tops-or-1-piece-mouthpieces/
This horn looks and sounds like it would be an absolute joy to play. In every profession, some tools just make you smile every time you use it, this seems like the trumpet version of that.
Wonderful demonstration. So many fine horns came from the great master builders and pioneers of brass craftsmen. As I get older (just turned 71 😳) my appreciation for the classic trumpets has gained a higher level of respect. I own a Martin Committee C Trumpet gifted to me by its late owner and what a fine playing instrument it is. Thanks Trent. Keep the Classic and vintage horn videos fresh to educate the young players on these great instruments.
@@austincustom they very certainly do. Sometimes I wonder if some of the contemporary horns currently in today’s marketplace will have the same vibe in 60-80 years??
When I first started learning the trumpet in 4th grade (around 1970ish) the very first horn I had was a Martin Imperial. It wasn't until I was a senior in high school before I realized what I had, after I beat the hell out of it. Had it overhauled and silver plated and still have it to this day.
I grew up playing a Olds super recording Cornet, that my grandfather bought at the olds factory with his navy severance pay in 1946. Imagine turning a 9 year old loose with such a great horn, luckily i didn't abuse it, it still has incredible compression.Nothing plays like these horns. I still play it, but reserve it for when i need a particular sound, i play a schilke ,b3 and 21c more often.
lucky you. My first horn was an Old's Ambassador I got from my grandfather and had no lacquer on it. I played that for about a year and then my parents bought me a brand new Getzen 300 series student horn which took me all the way through college. Still have it to this day but I now play on a very nice, restored Old's Recording and just recently bought a very nice Schilke B5. Getzens are great horns though. One of these days I will be getting the new Getzen 900 DLX

These vintage horns sure do have a vibe!

Beautiful and as you said yourself:
"One of the best trumpets ever made."

@@septictopix4797 you can't go wrong with a handcraft imperial!
