Thank you to the hundreds of clients who helped us create this amazing instrument!

Our latest Edition of the VPS Summit G-Series was released in 2019

We embrace physics & produce the results


Have you ever wondered why the upper register on one trumpet is easier than another trumpet?

We know why this happens. In fact, we developed the Variable Performance System (VPS) to address this very problem.
We guarantee you will find the correct VPS setting to fit your playing preferences in a matter of minutes.

We have invested millions of dollars and over 20 years into research in physics, acoustics and modern
manufacturing to bring you the most versatile and efficient brass instruments available on planet Earth.
