Vincent Bach Artisan range of trumpets: Prozone Music is first in the queue for this exiting new range from Vincent Bach. It has been many years since this great manufacturer has launched a new range. These new models do not replace any existing trumpets and are an entirely new “custom shop” addition to the already fantastic range of trumpets offered by Vincent Bach. The outfit has various up-graded features with regard to additional engraving and deluxe case etc which we should expect from a trumpet at the top of the range, importantly there are also real new innovations that enhance the playing characteristics across the range. It has been found by other manufactures (Yamaha) that changing the material of the valve guides changes acoustic properties for the whole trumpet and here the Artisan trumpet is issued with two sets of guides, metal and plastic, allowing the musician to choose which is best. The bells are acoustically treated with a freezing process to enhance resonance, ferrules are enhanced for improved acoustic properties throughout the instrument and the bell and lead pipe design overall are new. Well worth considering and trying. Bach have not been favoured for the smaller trumpets in recent years and rightly so, they have been rubbish! Now we have a complete re-design and things are looking up. The Eb/D is along the successful lines chosen by Schilke and Stomvi with a long bell design and two bells supplied in Eb and D as such you find two separate trumpets that are equally successful in Eb and D. we are hopeful this new Eb/D trumpet will combine the playability of the Stomvi and Schilke trumpets but with an addition of a Bach bell…. It good be outstanding! Similarly the picc has taken its cor concept from the successful design of Schilke and Stomvi but combined with a Bach sound it is an exciting prospect. Prozone Music will receive the first set of trumpets to the UK and delivery is anticipated in June. If you wish to be among the first to try this new range do get in touch and we will contact you when delivery is imminent. We are also accepting pre-orders for those who are really excited…………..
