We are very proud to introduce to the world the newest collaboration with Adams Brass the Americana!
If you are familiar with the Adams Trumpet line you probably know there are a lot of options in their custom series line and in fact Trent has worked on many of the designs at the factory with Miel Adams. This new trumpet is very different from all of their custom options.
One thing at ACB that we achieved with this horn is a more streamlined sound shape. A sound shape with tons of core and spin. We also wanted an ergonomic valveset and Adams agreed to do this for us. The all-new bell and leadpipe combination not found on any current Adams instrument are geared for commercial/recording situations and they remind us of that classic sound color you hear in the LA studios (think Uan Rasey, Chuck Findley, Conrad Gozzo, etc).
Here are some of the features of this horn:
ML .460 Bore
Ergonomic offset valve block
One-piece bell in yellow brass
Efficient leadpipe with good resistance and core
Lightweight horn with great balance overall
Single Saturn waterkey on main tuning slide
This horn is a limited edition and we will only make 50 of these special trumpets (unless we can convince the factory otherwise). The horn will come in gold lacquer and silver plate.
