4 Valves!
Check out this awesome Stomvi Titian 4-valve Bb trumpet that recently came in to the shop! This horn is in excellent condition save for a few very light surface scratches around the body of the horn. Beyond this it is an excellent looking horn that plays even better! The valves move with fantastic action and compression and the slides move comfortably as well. This particular horn features a copper bell and an XL bore size. Take advantage of this opportunity to get a rare horn today!
Here is what Stomvi says about their instruments:
"There have been other 4 valve trumpets and flugelhorns available but Vicente Honorato, founder of Stomvi is the first to develop an entire line of trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns that are incredibly in tune and easy to play.
Due to the evolution of the repertoire, it was more and more important to develop and broaden the register of the trumpet, not only to play new concertos, but also to play arrangements of pieces originally written for other instruments.
The fourth valve expands the register a fourth below the low F sharp. It also gives the possibility to use different fingerings that are of a big help to the performer in different occasions.
Furthermore, the fact that it has more mass and tubes, along with the XL bore, produces a huge sound that will never break, and is stable in all registers."
FEATURES
- Full resonant sound rich with harmonics
Like a 7 string guitar or a Bösendorfer 97 key piano our 4 Valve Edition offer more colors in the sound than ever before possible. Created with an advanced, acoustically damped air column. - Extremely easy to play
Strong partials, combined with our advanced air column make these horns extremely easy to play. - Alternate fingerings
The 4th valve offers many alternate fingerings usable for tricky passages or intonation purposes.
BENEFITS
- Easier Upper Register
Properly applied acoustic damping combined with mechanical and our proprietary alloys and acoustic treatments make the upper register easier than ever before. - Increased Endurance
Not having to distort your embouchure for intonation or low notes allows for
less work and thus more endurance. - Usable Low Register
The 4th valve lowers the pitch of the horn by a 4th (or tri-tone in the case of our Flugelhorn and Corno Da Caccia) and acts as a bridge into the pedal register – You can now play pieces encompassing a 3 ½ to 4 octave range or more. Notes formally thought of as pedal tones are now usable notes.
— Carmen Prelude to act 2 low F on Bb trumpet
— Ein Heldenleiben 2nd Eb trumpet part can now be played on Titan 4 Valve edition Bb
— 2nd movement of the Shastokovich piano concerto #1 on C trumpet
— Low F in 2nd trumpet part of “Wicked”
And many more… What can you imagine?
- You can play new music
— Violin concertos (like the Sarasate) and guitar transcriptions are now possible without having to change the direction of the melody to accommodate the limited range of 3 valve instruments.
— New concertos (like the Arturo Marquez Trumpet Concerto) are being written for 4 valve instruments as composers explore the new palette of sound colors afforded by our Titan 4 Valve Edition Instruments.
IF YOU NEVER USE THE 4TH VALVE,
YOU STILL GET MORE SOUND FOR LESS EFFORT.
