Bill, the Stage 1 horns are mostly made in New York...Felix Vayser designs most of them, I believe, although some of them do come from Austria, from Anton Posseger. Garry Stoner is also working with him too. He's on here as NYTC. He's got an amazing line of trumpets.
New York Trumpet Company - The Premier Custom Trumpet Shop. You should definitely check them out. He really tailors to your every need-you will definitely know you have a horn for you, that is yours. He even sends them out in raw so you can test it before you finish it-talk about service...
Clarence-I've got Felix's new Model A at the moment-it's a nice one too!! Definitely interesting in the shotblast palladium finish(I didn't realize what palladium was for a while...didn't know it was on the other side of platinum...)with shotblast gold buttons and caps....and a scratch gold inside bell! I can't wait to hear yours though...how heavy is that beast, exactly?
