Van Laar - Page 2

I wish I would have had more time to spend in all of the rooms, but I did go back to the Van Laar room two or three times. It was interesting to have Arturo standing next to you while trying out horns. I guess if he said "hey man you sound really good on that...... you need a gig?" You would have to buy it

Isnt it cool to be a trumpet player right now

The silver Bb, the R2, was awesome. I really liked that horn, but not enough to switch from my yamaha.

I don't see the R2 on the website...??

Got an e-mail from them about the R2:

"The R series trumpets are developed with trumpets of the metropolian orchestra ( holland ) and wdr big band. Cologne germany ) They where made for bigband , so a lot off projection however its possibel to create a warm sound also

So its a allround horn with a lot of center and high in the tone . The R1 has a smaller bell and the R 2 a bigger bell."

Sounds like they are working on a Bb for Arturo as we speak. Do you know if it will be his signature model or will it be a model already out?

Hey Trent! I hear you let your Van Laar go. May I ask what did it not have? I'm in the market for one and I would like to hear all the personal thoughts I can about them.
