  • Custom Built Copper bell trumpets

     
     
     
    These trumpets are what encouraged me to make this site. These are beautiful and truly unique instruments. I build them off of an Olds ambassador valve block. I install a professional mouthpipe , and ovate tuning slide, and one of my copper bells. I can do these instruments in standard tuning, double socket reverse tuning, with tunable bells, the list goes on and on. The idea behind these instruments is to give you (the player) exactly what you want. Every horn is built to order, so a 3-6 week wait, depending on current wait list, is to be expected.
     
    Starting price on these instruments:
     
    $1095.00 
     


     

  • Copper Bells

     
     
    One of my copper bells can be installed on any trumpet. My copper bells are made from electro-formed copper. They are designed very much he same way as the old Conn Coprion bells. These bells can be setup as fixed bells or in a tunable configuration.
     
    $325.00* 

  • Tunable bell Conversion

     

     

     

    All of the bracing attaching the bell to the mouthpipe are removed. A locking joint is created where the bell sits by the valve block and the bell tail is replaced with a slide section. This allows for intonation to be adjusted where the bell fits into the valve block, also for the bell to be changed.

     

    $300.00

     

    Additional bell setups $125.00 each

     

     

  • Ideas to customize and personalize your instrument are virtually limitless. What one player wants to make his playing experience more comfortable, may not work for every player. With this in mind, I am always available for consultation and open to most any custom trumpet idea. I will always give my thoughts on the proposed project and do what I can to accomodate the player.
