From Thane:
The Thane Performance Series trumpets are designed for excellent stability, intonation, playability, and core of sound. Handmade in the USA, one piece at a time. Each part is closely inspected and detailed to fit each individual instrument with precision, and without tension. Every aspect of these trumpets is built with the player in mind.

Valve casings: Two-piece casings, with a bronze body and nickel tops. Precisely fit Monel pistons. The slides tubing and crooks are all trimmed by hand to be a perfect fit for each casing and aligned with the highest tolerances.

Slides: The tuning slide is a soft D bend with slightly longer ferrules to keep the connecting brace strong. Each tube is precisely fit to each crook before it is assembled. The bronze cross brace is a Thane signature design. Not only does it add a nice aesthetic but bronze transfers sound vibration extremely well, allowing the tuning slide to vibrate with the rest of the instrument as it is being played. This helps relieve more tension and allows for an even easier playing horn. The slides are fit tightly and hand lapped for ideal movement. Amado waterkeys are added on the tuning slide and third slide for easy draining and a third slide stop prevents unwanted damage.

Leadpipe: The leadpipe is a standard Thane1 version Bb pipe. This has the correct taper, venturi opening, mouthpiece gap, and ideal length for the best playing Bb trumpet. Each leadpipe is drawn to a mandrel for consistency, trimmed, and fit for the receiver and tuning slide.

Bell: The bell is an all brass classic taper ideal for the typical trumpet sound. This trumpet has a medium taper bell (think Bach 37) with a slightly larger diameter, giving it a warmer and more open sound. Each Thane bell is hand fit and aligned perfectly to each trumpet. The braces are hand made, trimmed, measured, and fit so there is no tension once soldered on.
