CarolBrass 8060H-GLS Balanced Action Trumpet! ACB Show & Tell with Trent Austin

[Link in description] Such a fun horn! It doesn't quite follow the original designs of the Selmer or Leblanc balanced action trumpets, but it does have its own great retro vibe. CarolBrass is a great manufacturer in Taiwan, and this is one of their top-of-the-line models. Check it out here on our web store: https://www.austincustombrass.biz/pre...

This horn has some great features, of course starting out with the balanced action design. It also comes with two full sets of valve buttons and caps (heavy and standard weight) and two tuning slides (rounded and traditional). The leadpipe is pure Sterling silver leadpipe, which gives the sound a wonderful brilliance and spin. This design uses the CarolBrass GLS bell, which is made of gold brass with a 72-style flare. It also has a Bach-style third valve slide stop rod.

The sound is a bit thicker and warmer than other balanced model trumpets, which tend to be pretty bright. It's still very efficient and easy to play. I'm working on a new prototype high-compression lead mouthpiece, and it sounds awesome with this trumpet! The horn can get as punchy and brilliant as you want, and still has a great core to the sound.
