Re: What is your main horn?

My new horn is a custom Thein MH-One (Matthias Höfs Model) piston valve trumpet.





It is silver-plated except the bell which is lacquered. The trumpet is completely hand-crafted except the Bauerfeind valve cluster, that is just the best. It has a gold brass bell with 130mm diameter and a 3cm nickel silver annulus(?). The bell is also changeable.
It has a dark and resonant sound. Very warm at piano and very strong, "German" at forte.
Simply the best trumpet I have ever played
