I would agree that Lawler's aim is toward the commercial side of playing, though like CoolBenge stated, Mr. Lawler will build you anything. I use my Lawler for all styles, though it is best suited for commercial playing. I live and study in a "Bach" oriented city. Almost everyone plays Bach for all horns except piccolo. Blending with a Bach 37 is an issue with my Lawler, though mine isn't made for orchestral playing. I have no doubt that Mr. Lawler could build a horn that would be at home in a Bach section.
I would love to call Mr. Lawler and have him make me a matched set of Bb and C orchestral trumpets, but if you don't play a Bach here in Milwaukee, it doesn't matter what the "other" horn sounds like. Not the way I like to think about it, but I'll deal with it .
One of the things that amazes me most about Lawler trumpets is how flexible the sound is. I can put a lead mpc in my horn and it screams, a 1-1/4C for all around, or a Bach 3 in it for mellow, almost flugel-like playing. Those are just three examples. Monette mouthpieces make a wonderful sound as well.
Like CoolBenge stated, Lawler customer service is more than excellent. Mr. Lawler has answered my questions immediately.
These trumpets represent one of the finest values in professional horns today, IMHO. The level of playability, build quality, and custom service available for the money is amazing!
