Venturi Gap Receiver - The VGR is a pillar of our Variable Performance System and the ultimate solution offering fully adjustable flexibility, slotting, and air flow. Fine tune your setup to match impedance between your oral cavity, mouthpiece, and instrument to produce maximum resonance. Works with all mouthpieces. You will learn to use this very capable system in just a few minutes.
Bravura SS Leadpipe - Bravura SS Leadpipes are laser sintered from Stainless Steel powder to create the highest efficiency to weigh ratio ever on a trumpet. This means your trumpet plays easier with less weight. And the pinky hook is adjustable!
Engineered Laser Sintered Nylon Bracing - Improved efficiency through design includes bell coupler, leadpipe to bell bracing around valve casing, first slide to bell brace, and 3rd slide stop brace. This new bracing is less than 25% the weight when compared to our previously CNC machined designs and offers more than four times the surface area contact. This results in further increasing SWE while improving stability in the upper register, overall response, and stretching the dynamic range beyond that of our 2nd generation Summit.
Solder-less Assembly - Through special engineering and mechanical fasteners, the vast majority of the Bravura series trumpets are assembled without solder. This improves accuracy while reducing labor, clean-up, buffing, and related finishing challenges. The end result is a trumpet that more closely resembles the original intended design providing a higher level of consistency than soldered instruments.
High Efficiency Valve Stems (HEVS) - Improve efficiency and stability while avoiding damaging aluminum corrosion. (upgrade option)
