A Recent Review of the Kessler Custom C Trumpet

"I had the pleasure of testing the new Kessler Custom C Trumpet. The build quality is excellent! I was pleasantly surprised (due to the low cost) on the response, tone and intonation with the horn with both the C and Bb slides installed. The horn is open and free blowing with an even sound on the upper and lower registers. This would make a great intermediate instrument for the budding orchestral trumpet player!"

Our Kessler Custom brand of instruments has gained a great reputation in the woodwind community due to the exceptional quality, value, price and service that they offer. So we have decided to expand our Kessler Custom line to include brass instruments as well.

Our Kessler Custom C trumpet is truly an amazing value. The principle consideration for this horn was tone. We find that most intermediate trumpets still have a thinner, brighter tone whereas most professional trumpets feature a warmer and richer, more complex tone. We wanted to achieve a nice rich tone more in line with the professional trumpets. Our Kessler Custom trumpet has two distinct features to help us achieve our goal:

  • 2 Piece Valve Casings
  • Resonant Bronze Bell

Our Resonant Bronze Bell is also featured on this trumpet to once again add weight to the horn. This special alloy increases the copper used in the alloy giving the metal a slightly darker cosmetic color while also providing a very rich tone. The bend and taper of our C bell is designed to emulate traditional C trumpet performance with great tonal color and response.

Our Kessler Custom C trumpet was designed as a true C trumpet. However, we also include a full set of 4 Bb Tuning Slides so that the trumpet can also be an IN TUNE Bb trumpet. Many trumpets that offer this C/Bb conversion only offer the longer main tuning slide. Sadly, that is not enough to produce an in tune instrument. In order to play in tune, all the tuning slides have to be extended to properly intonate the nodes of the instrument. Our C trumpet includes a full set of C slides and a full set of Bb slides!

If you are looking for a great new C trumpet but don't want to spend $1,500+ on a new trumpet, you really need to try our new Kessler Custom Trumpet! You will not be sorry!

All horns are checked over prior to shipping to make sure that they are perfect!
