Our D/E♭ trumpet is the ideal bridge between our piccolo trumpets and B♭ and C trumpets. Thanks to its exchangeable tuning and valve slides, it can cover both pitches without creating the usual intonation issues. The instrument boasts a bright sound without being piercing, and it provides a pleasant responsiveness across registers and at various volumes, as with all Kroning instruments.
