C trumpet, perinet valves
Special features of the instrument:
3 valve “American” trumpet. The Pitchfinder facility makes the excellent intonation supple and easy to adjust. The Sliding Bell System (screwed bell) with 2 bells provides a big orchestral sound which is achieved by a 130 mm diameter bell made of Kruspe metal and a smaller bell made of yellow brass with a high wall thickness.

Annotation:
I use this instrument as an enrichment to the sound range, mainly for modern French literature and in an orchestra for Stravinsky, Ravel or Debussy, for example.
