Unmatched Performance for Uncompromising Professionals

When Blackburn built the Lux, the company channeled decades of precision craftsmanship to produce the quintessential trumpet for professional players. Blackburn succeeded in creating a masterfully designed trumpet that excels in all settings. The Lux features a hand-hammered ambronze 313A20S bell paired with a #21 reverse leadpipe, delivering precise intonation and a full palette of tonal colors, all with a powerful sound. You'll experience the unparalleled performance of precision-fitted, hand-lapped valves and handcrafted slides. Additionally, the silver-plated brass body vibrates flawlessly, increasing responsiveness and projection in every register. Meticulously crafted with the highest attention to detail, the Blackburn Lux provides players with an unrivaled combination of efficiency and power.

Precision, power, and Peter Pickett

The Lux is an irresistible choice with its ambronze bell, a #21 reverse leadpipe, and medium 0.453-inch bore, which yields a darker sound and a comfortable playing experience. Thanks to the vision of Peter Pickett, after two years of research and product development with Cliff Blackburn, the Lux was born in 2018 and named after the daughter of a Blackburn staff member. The Lux exists to illuminate your artistry.

Ambronze 313 series bell

Crafted from ambronze alloy, the Blackburn Lux hand-hammered 0.02-inch bell offers remarkable tonal versatility and responsive playability. Blackburn founder Cliff Blackburn favored ambronze for its richness and purity. Its high copper content imparts a distinctive sound and ensures robust projection. Additionally, the 313 series bell provides an ear-grabbing tone that’s flexible enough to blend seamlessly into any musical arrangement.
