This is the only 4-valve solution
that’s as comfortable to hold as a 3-valve trumpet.
Consisting of 3 pistons and 1
rotor, it’s a superior solution for the 4-valve trumpet, designed by
Adam Rapa. Controlling the rotary valve trigger with your left thumb
is incredibly easy, and feels like 2nd nature in no time.
(Just
play your preferred scale studies down in that range, slowly and
with metronomic precision, and it'll come surprisingly fast.)
The 4th-valve tubing wraps snugly
around the valve block, keeping the horn perfectly balanced, and
doesn’t require you to change your grip. Holding
this horn feels totally natural and comfortable.
This design is a total game-changer for
anyone looking to expand their range and gain access to the wealth
of music written for many other instruments, and open up a world of
new creative possibilities.
Once you’ve spent some time with
this type of 4-valve trumpet, you’ll probably never want to go back!
