Re: Lawler's Goals.

Hi, All!
I would agree that Lawler's are a bit more on the commercial side of the fence. I would also say that Lawler's blend VERY WELL with other manufacturer's horns. The two things that most people comment on most, about Lawler trumpets, is their response and intonation.
There are a few symphony players, that I've sold to, who are absolutely thrilled with their "new" sound. As LawlerBb has stated, a lot of the sound characteristics can be controlled with the mouthpiece choice, along with the leadpipe, and bell configuration. As mentioned, the "streamlined" offerings, as far as models are concerned, are a result of a "time-tested" success rate for the majority of the players... "customization" is not a problem.
The horns are very well made, and they are a great value. It's difficult to compete with the production horns, but, by keeping the price within reach, the difference in cost is well worth it. The new Getzen valve block was a GREAT addition...
the new Lawler's carry the Lifetime Getzen Valve Warranty!
The Lawler's, Eclipse, and Callet trumpets are always on the table, whenever I do my "Trumpetfests". Just back from Mobile, Alabama... next stop... Melrose, Massachusetts - November 1st. Workin' on Dallas/Fort Worth for November 15th. Atlanta - December 7th - Holiday Trumpets. January 10th - Atlanta Trumpets. (See details on my website.)
The TL6R-1A is a real winner! Although... I'm REALLY lookin' forward to the NEW "Lawler Committee". It's starting out as a .464 bore, like the popular Large Bore Martin Committee. Next, will be the .460 bore, and last, but certainly not least, the .453 bore that Miles made legendary. The "Lawler Committee" will feature an engraved bell, and "vintage" Martin Committee-type water keys. Can't wait to get my hot hands on this horn... Roy told me that I should have it VERY soon! It will definitely be with me in Melrose, Massachusetts, for the Northern Brass Trumpetfest.
I hope that any of you that live in the areas that I've mentioned will come check these horns out!
