Manchester Brass RL-GB Trumpet
ACB is the exclusive North American dealer for these amazing horns!
(Trent plays one when he doesn't use his Adams)
We have been so pleased with the fantastic success of the Manchester Brass line that we asked our manufacturer to make us a completely custom model, the RL-GB. This is an AMAZING playing instrument, perhaps the best playing trumpet you will find at this price on the market.
Some key features:
- Reversed leadpipe
- Lightweight, large flare (think Bach 72), 5-inch bell in gold brass
- Nickel trim
- Nickel inner slides
- Stainless steel valves
- .460 ML bore
- Deluxe carry bag with backpack straps
- ACB Precision Valve Alignment
- Stock 3C mouthpiece included (If you would like to upgrade to an ACB mouthpiece, click here!)
This horn has an absolutely huge sound profile and tons of versatility (recording clips below).
I can't begin to tell you how excited we are for this launch. We want to provide incredible equipment, personally tweaked and modified by our shop, for a great price.
Here's a quick little demo track (first take only, per my usual) with two ACB mouthpieces: ACB 3B and ACB Ta-Z.
From Mahler to Maynard in 30 seconds!
Here's another example of the amazing RL-GB!
Here's a thorough review from our customer George in Canada (2.23.17):
"Last spring, after a 50 year break, I decided to take up the trumpet again. I had played a Conn 28B during the 50s and 60s so I knew what a good professional horn is all about, and deciding on the Manchester ACB custom model RL-GB was a bit of a risk because I live in Canada and couldn't take a test drive. But I had already bought a vintage Selmer sight unseen from ACB and it had been a positive experience. Trent and Josh are great guys and you can take them at their word, believe me.

Manchester RL-GB Silver plated trumpet
I purchased this trumpet at the Recommendation of ACB. I am a come back player after almost 40 years and I wanted to get back into it with a nice horn that wouldn’t break the bank. The trumpet is absolutely beautiful. The valves are smooth and it feels good in the hand. I’m not a pro player so the only other thing I can say is I’m very happy with the purchase. I want to thank ACB for all their help.

Lovely horn, and versatile
I highly recommend this horn. The sound is incredible. Big and warm. Even a small mouthpiece sounds good with it. This gives you a lot of options. The blow is fairly open. I switched to a semi-tight backbore to tighten the slotting just a bit.
