Custom Bell Gauges:
- The thinner the gauge of the bell results in a more energized, faster response.
- The ticker the gauge of the bell will result in more stability and density to the sound
Bell Materials:
Yellow Brass
This bell is an excellent mix of materials for all round work as this material is very versatile. The sound is clear and brilliant at all dynamic levels, with a good core and great projection. This alloy is ideal for lead trumpet, commercial playing and studio work. Also a good choice for principal trumpet players in symphony orchestras or someone who is looking for good crispness to the articulated sound.
Gold Brass
Like the yellow brass bell this is a very versatile horn - a near perfect blend of warmth and projection. The gold brass brings a depth to the sound which is very smooth, rich and dark, however it is still a lively and agile trumpet. It responds quickly and has good projection without getting as brilliant as the yellow brass bell. We find it to be suited to a host of applications: be it in the jazz soloist, the crossover artist, the classical soloist, or someone who is looking for depth to sound while still retaining projection.
Red Brass
The Red Brass bell material is an ideal choice for the soloist who is looking for the richest, warmest, thickest sound available. Higher in copper content than our other two bell choices this provides the player with the smoothest transitions from note to note. Articulations are veiled (although with a lighter Red Brass bell option it is greatly improved) and sound shape is overall a bit wider in shape.
Sterling Silver
We do offer all Custom Series Trumpet Models with a solid Sterling silver bell. Sterling silver is a very versatile material but also much more dependent on the individual’s particular ability level. Therefore we recommend this bell option for the serious amateur or professional. The general characteristics are the bell is much darker and thicker when played at soft to medium volumes. When this bell is pushed the higher overtones are much more present and the result is a wonderful sound with great “sparkle.”
Finishes:
Raw Brass
This is actually no finish. The raw material of the instrument is only polished.
Silver Plated
This finish will liven and energize the sound slightly.
Gold Plated
This finish will leave the sound very similar to the original raw state.
Clear Lacquer
The instrument keeps the look of the raw material.
Gold Lacquer
A gold tone is added to the clear lacquer.
Copper Lacquer
A copper tone is added to the clear lacquer.
Antique
Colored lacquer which gives the instrument a typical antique look.

F2
The F2 slots well, looks good, silver plated, and with two lead pipes offers many different tonal colors. Try one and hear for yourself.
-
F2 Flugelhorn
The F2 , silver plated and big bell, slots well and sounds great. The two included lead pipes allow totally different tonal colors. With the F5, all copper, and the F2, I won't need another flugelhorn. Play the F2 and you'll hear for yourself.
