Experimental X-series trumpets
Built with the same high quality components as our VPS Summit and Muse series, each X-horn is a true prototype designed to test a new idea, design or material. Jason build a total of 100 "X" Series trumpets, which will be featured in a full color photo book complete with descriptions, build photos and details on each design. In addition, our YouTube channel will be featuring many of these horns as they are being designed and built. Own a unique piece of history that rivals the best trumpets of yesterday and today.

x1 - breakdown
"Breakdown" X1 is an experiment in modular bell efficiency. Designed with a removable bell, this horn explores the possibility of breaking a horn down to fit into a smaller travel-friendly case.
