The high B♭/A trumpet is our range topper when it comes to trumpets. As the highest-pitched type of trumpet, it’s expected to meet the highest demands for a brilliant tone, precise intonation and comfortable response – a feat we think we have achieved once more with this instrument. Depending on the choice of leadpipe and bell, a great variety of tonal preferences are covered.

The trumpet is equipped with a bell hammered and bent by hand as well as B♭ and A pipes including valve slide conversion rings for tuning in A. Another feature on our model is the water key, while a trigger, pressure relief vent and detachable bell are optional.

As with all of our instruments, various combinations are possible, and all of them can be tried out before an order is placed. For example, a tight or medium bell is available, so are two leadpipes of different bores and materials, one for each pitch version. Also, there is a selection of valve assemblies from different manufacturers.

For more technical specifications, pricing and appointments for trying out instruments, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Dear Customers,

This time around, we’d like to direct your attention to our broad selection of used instruments. We regularly buy instruments, which are then cleaned, repaired and sold on. Also, we sell instruments on commission. Each instrument is inspected in our master craftsman’s workshop and only offered for sale once it’s in good playing order.

Currently, we have variously pitched rotary- and piston valve trumpets in stock, as well as a cornet, various trombones, baritone horns and tubas. Chances are we have just what you’re looking for at the right price! Here, you can find all items for sale, complete with pictures and details:

As usual, you can also find our used instruments for sale listed further down in the newsletter. Should you have any questions, need advice or would like to try out an instrument, don’t hesitate to approach us.

Dear customers,

This month, we‘d like to direct your attention to our broad selection of trombone slide lubricants. We carry a broad range to take into the account the fact that each trombone slide is different and has its own requirements for lubricants, according to its construction and age. For example, Trombotine, a light grease, is still a go-to for older slides with a damaged chrome coating or no chrome coating at all. On new and well-maintained slides, Yamaha Trombone Slide Lubricant works very nicely. For the average slide, we have popular lubricants like Slide-o-Mix, Slide-o-Mix Rapid Comfort, Reka Superslide as well as La Tromba Slide Oil P3 on offer. We also recommend a small spray bottle of Slide-o-Mix for spraying water on the slide after greasing, a great accessory to carry in your instrument case. The important thing to remember is not to mix different lubricants as this might lead to clumps. That’s why you should wipe the inside and outside of a slide thoroughly, or have it professionally cleaned, before applying a new type of lubricant. We’re happy to give you advice on choosing the right lubricant for your trombone slide.

Best regards,

The Kroning family
