the8thchef · 10-01-2005, 10:44 AM

does anyone here have any knowledge about what the trumpet would sound like with a wooden leadpipe??

and does anyone know where i could pick up a wooden bell??

They sound really bad. The worst part is that the sound only projects approximately 6 inches in front of your bell. Stomvi has made some horns with wood bells in case you are still interested.

I doubt that Stomvi would make a product that is terrible with "a sound that only projects 6 inches in front of the bell" and still attempt to sell it to the public, this isn't exactly their reputation.

If Maurice Benterfa can make mouthpieces out of precious wood, he may have the ability and tools to do bells and leadpipes; not knowing much about manufacturing, that's a stretch. Did you try contacting him? How about the folks at LeBlanc? They make an outstanding clarinet...

I've never seen one but I bet it would be interesting to try.

I there such thing as a completly wooden trumpet and mouthpiece?

I have a Stomvi Master picc with the solid sterling silver, gold plated brass and also the wooden bell.

The silver bell projects the best and responds the easiest, the brass bell is the smoothest (and my favorite) and the wooden bell projects the least but is really cool for small ensemble or solo baroque chamber orchestra stuff. Almost sounds like an oboe or soprano sax. The wooden bell also responds the least and you have to put a tad more oomph into it. Very unique though. A real crowd pleaser. Not many around.

I've got the same setup, including the wooden bell. They all 3 sound great, and each serve a different purpose...
