daCarbo "Large" Trumpet 

@@nicryan-glenie2710 thanks!!

Thanks for watching!

More to come!

Thanks!! Arturo is a master.

Thanks for the comment man! Always a work in progress. Playing approach definitely changes how horns sound!

I like to keep that style of mouthpiece in rotation. I lump them into “shorter shanked” mouthpieces that tend to have larger throats. Lotus / AR Resonance / ACB reserve and things if that nature. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Appreciate you checking it out.

Absolutely! www.brassinstrumentworkshop.com Sorry for not including that in the description!

Totally understand. That info wasn’t available to me, or else it would be here ;) I’d probably give them a call or email and they can measure it for you. They may even have the info and might have slipped on posting it. I just sent the person who originally ordered a message and will let you know what they say.

Here is the email from the horn maker: Whichever instrument you choose, it will be good. We are talking about small differences at the highest quality level. What are the technical differences between the TML and the Toni Maier daCarbo trumpets (friend wants to know that is considering a purchase)? The TML is designed for a brighter sound than the Toni Maier. This is achieved by using a lighter leadpipe made of nickel silver (stiffer) instead of brass. The inlet bore of the TML leadpipe is 8.75 mm instead of 8.80 mm (Toni Maier) and the entire bore progression of the leadpipe is adapted accordingly. The leadpipe is supported at 4 points instead of 3 (Toni Maier) to stiffen the construction. In other respects, the bore and bell of the instruments are identical. The TML valve pistons are made of stainless steel while the Toni Maier pistons are nickel-plated brass, which is more a manufacturing difference and does not affect the feel and durability. 2. Are the valves (pistons) exactly the same between the LB and Toni Maier (ML) horns? No, they are different. All the cylindrical tubing to and from the Large Bore have a inner diameter of 12.0 mm including the tubing going through the pistons. For all other daCarbo trumpets (ML bore) this measure is 11.7 mm. Best regards, Andi

Ha! The Schilke mp you liked the least sounded the purest tones

@@justinpowelltrumpet Thanks very much for your replies!

@@fleurafricaine5740you are right! It absolutely had the purest tone, but not the right feel for me.

I do try and demonstrate with all different playing styles including subtones / high compression and everything in between. "Normal" trumpet playing is a bit subjective, since there are many different schools of playing, as well as the difference in body type and dental structure that will pre dispose a player towards a certain sound and production method.

Ya, not 100% sure why. But it sure looks cool!

VERY difficult to damage. Where does most trumpet damage occur? The bell. And carbon fiber is lighter than brass.

What does what it's made out of have to do with anything? Why does he need a nickel mouthpiece? Why do they use silver and nickel in other trumpets? Why use Monel valves? Why buy a trumpet with a nickel-silver bell? No one spends thousands, or tens of thousands in the case of a Monette, on a trumpet then puts it in the trash to end up in a landfill. Other than that, carbon fiber is lighter, more responsive, corrosian proof and is not cold or hot to the touch if you play outdoor festivals or if you're in a marching band. I bought a carbon fiber cello to play outdoors with no worry, but after months of use, I have not gone back to my trad instrument. I'm looking forward to trying this and other fiber trumpets. If we only do things the way they've been done we would all still be playing five foot long trumpets with no valves and with banners hanging from them.

Metal can be recycled, and even if it does end up in a landfill it will eventually be absorbed by earth. Carbon fiber on the other had is not recyclable and is far more toxic to the environment. Brass can be repaired easily. Carbon fiber also can be repaired sometimes but finding a skilled artisan to repair would be difficult. Lastly, carbon is light and strong. But not the kind of strong needed for a musical instrument. Unless you plan on sitting on your instrument. Drop a brass instrument you’ll get a dent. Drop a carbon trumpet you may get a nice long crack or shattered bell. It’s a gimmick, and nice marketing. You enjoy playing in the rain. Health and love to you.

@TheAlexsimon1966 How many $200 trumpets from Amazon end up in the trash versus this $9000 trumpet? Who is more likely to drop their gear? Someone that paid 9000 or 200? I just bought a carbon fiber violin and bow to match my cello. I could have never afforded a trad violin that sounds and plays like this one, which is the top reason to buy.

Most consider .459 inch bore to be medium large. 🤔…..🤷🏽‍♂️

Ya, I’m not exactly sure…

A few thousandths of an inch? Who cares, it’s how it blows that matters.

Our Large Model is a .472 bore
