WOW!!!
WOW!!!
WOW!!!
Now that that's out of my system I would like to give a thanks to Bruce for letting me swing by his home unexpectedly and try out some horns and pick up a book I had bought from him. The teatro trumpet is amazing... I played it with both slides the square and the round...I preferred the rounded feel but could appreciate the square as it felt VERY Bach-like but with excellent intonation.
The upper register is AWESOME...this horn slots G's and A's with no problems and plenty of sizzle for the commercial side of things.
Dont think this horn is just a light weight commercial players horn though. Its a chamelion, BIG TIME... I was getting dark and smokey playing jazz ballads....and bold and brilliant with some legit solos Im working on. I was thinking about it a lot on my drive home and what this horn really has going for it is that it practically plays it self...!
It plays sooo easy... I also played the eclipse models Bruce had in stock and prefered his TEATRO over all but one of the eclipse which was very close to being a tie...
I asked bruce how he is going to market the two tuning slides...He really doesn't want to charge someone $100.00 for a slide they wont use. So do yourself a favor and try this horn and give Bruce at Northern Brass a call...If you are looking for a horn you owe it to yourself!
This will quite possibly be the next horn I buy....Thanks again, Bruce...
