Van Cleave MVC1 C Trumpet

The MVC1 C Trumpet is built in the tradition of the Bb with a cut down Bb lead pipe (similar to the Adelstein Bach lead pipe concept) to maintain the familiar blow of a Bb. We then match it with a hybrid bell that is somewhere between a traditional brighter C bell and a Bb bell. This allows for a bit warmer sound that is desired more and more in today's orchestras. The end result is a C Trumpet that has both the familiar blow and response of a Bb while producing a warm sound that holds together well at all dynamic volumes while also projecting through any size group.
