Manchester Brass RL-GB Trumpet
ACB is the exclusive North American dealer for these amazing horns!
(Trent plays one when he doesn't use his Adams)
We have been so pleased with the fantastic success of the Manchester Brass line that we asked our manufacturer to make us a completely custom model, the RL-GB. This is an AMAZING playing instrument, perhaps the best playing trumpet you will find at this price on the market.
Some key features:
- Reversed leadpipe
- Lightweight, large flare (think Bach 72), 5-inch bell in gold brass
- Nickel trim
- Nickel inner slides
- Stainless steel valves
- .460 ML bore
- Deluxe carry bag with backpack straps
- ACB Precision Valve Alignment
- Stock 3C mouthpiece included (If you would like to upgrade to an ACB mouthpiece, click here!)
This horn has an absolutely huge sound profile and tons of versatility (recording clips below).
I can't begin to tell you how excited we are for this launch. We want to provide incredible equipment, personally tweaked and modified by our shop, for a great price.
Here's a quick little demo track (first take only, per my usual) with two ACB mouthpieces: ACB 3B and ACB Ta-Z.
From Mahler to Maynard in 30 seconds!
Here's another example of the amazing RL-GB!
Here's a thorough review from our customer George in Canada (2.23.17):
"Last spring, after a 50 year break, I decided to take up the trumpet again. I had played a Conn 28B during the 50s and 60s so I knew what a good professional horn is all about, and deciding on the Manchester ACB custom model RL-GB was a bit of a risk because I live in Canada and couldn't take a test drive. But I had already bought a vintage Selmer sight unseen from ACB and it had been a positive experience. Trent and Josh are great guys and you can take them at their word, believe me.

Manchester Brass Custom RL-GB
I am a seasoned veteran player and was looking for a good back-up that had a rich sound, was free blowing, and slotted very well especially in the upper register. So far, this horn has been a jewel of a find! It's everything I was hoping it would be. I love playing it! Plus, the customer service at ACB is absolutely awesome.

Review of Manchester RL-GB
I am a comeback player and bought this horn as a step up from my Yamaha student horn. The RL-BB Manchester Brass trumpet is a sweet sounding instrument and the valves are terrific. I have been playing this trumpet for a couple years now and give it daily use. Fit & finish is flawless and the sound quality is great. It has been a very good purchase.

Manchester RL-GB
The trumpet sounds fine. The valves are flawless. The only downside, so far, is the tuning slide is very tight. The price is right. The included Manchester 3C mouthpiece isn’t an inferior mouthpiece if 3C is right for you.
