This Horn Has Some Bite!
Check out this super cool Piranha Bb Trumpet by Taylor that's just arrived in the shop! This is the newest one with the Bauerfeind (Adams-owned now) valve block and it plays incredible!
This is Taylor's Flagship horn and is a great option for the all around player looking for a versatile horn with a big sound!
This horn is a great player! It feels open blowing and unrestrictive especially when you want to push it to its limits. It has a beautiful warm and rounded tone that is not so unique it couldn't blend well in a horn section. The upper register on this instrument is comfortable and can really light up when you want to give it some gas. It also feels very balanced and comfortable in the hand. The valves on this horn are silky smooth and have fantastic action!
From Taylor:
"This is the flagship model in our range of trumpets. Huge sound, flexibility, super wide dynamic range and such a cool look. Its an ML bore horn that sounds and responds like the very best large bore trumpets without needing an Olympic athletes lungs capacity to play it for any length of time! As if that wasn’t enough, it does all this at an impressively light weight. In a nutshell, all the power, projection and presence of a heavy large bore horn in a comfortable lighter ML easy to play package.
This is probably the most versatile ‘commercial’ trumpet on the market today (from any manufacturer). Maybe you’re thinking, surely there must be a downside? Well, you might get some strange looks from the other smartly dressed ladies and gentleman in the Symphony Orchestra!"
