Hi there!

I am a proud owner of 2 Geneva Balanced Bb Trumpets and am very pleased with them - they are similar to the Olds Recording and old Selmer Balanced - played by Louis and Harry James.
with the valve block nearer the bell. They are dynamic and capable instruments! One is Silver Plate, the other Gold Plate. My Trumpet teachers, who play a Schilke B42, Strad 37 and Benge respectively have all had a go and are more than impressed with the sound and build quality, and happy to give it a thumbs up.

The owner of Geneva trumpets - Tim Oldroyd - seems to have a variable reputation, and Geneva could do with a management overhaul IMHO but I am very impressed with the quality of what I own.

Kind regards
PB
