WTB: Rotary valve trumpet

Hey everybody,

Do you guys know where I can find a good rotary valve trumpet at a low price?

One of my friends got one from Germany for about $700.

I've been wanting one for a while but I cant pay $700 right now.

Re: WTB: Rotary valve trumpet

Wow, if he got a rotary trumpet that's even half decent for $700 that's an absolute steal! If you want a horn with any real quality you'll need to be prepared to spend at least $2,000-3,000 for a reasonable used rotary...

Yamaha makes a very decent student Bb rotary, one of my friends has one. You may need to make friends with someone in Germany to get one!

Not bad. At least from the photo, it does not look home made. Do you have a 'recipe' for it? How does it play? Did you do all of the tube bending and soldering yourself or hire it out? Where did the valves come from?

From a pure cost point of view, I don't see very much different than with a piston trumpet. The tuning slides have a few more bends but that can't add up to very much additional. I don't know the cost of rotary valves vs pistons. So, why does a rotary trumpet cost $2000-$3000? Where does the additional cost come from? If the cost is not more, then there is a lot of profit. Maybe you should start making and selling them.

Re: WTB: Rotary valve trumpet

why does a good rotary cost 2000-3000?
because most good horns of ANY kind cost that much. rotary or not, doesn't really matter.
