The Ingolf Günther B♭ bass trumpet was developed in collaboration with the second solo trombonist of the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie Chemnitz, Ingolf Günther. He was looking for an instrument with perfect intonation that could provide a direct and clear sound in brass music applications, particularly small ensembles, without sounding dominating or sharp. Of course, the instrument is also suitable for symphonic applications, trombone choirs and brass ensembles. Apart from its intonation and sound, Mr. Günther was also very interested in good handling characteristics, and, through valve positioning and a certain pipe layout, we succeeded in creating a particularly balanced instrument.
