Odyssey Premiere 'C' Trumpet Outfit ~ OTR1200

Two Trumpets in one - Comes  with extra B flat slides  

B-flat and  C Trumpets  are the standard trumpets commonly  seen. In bands, the B-flat  Trumpet  is king, whereas the  C Trumpet  is much more common in the orchestra and in Europe. The  C Trumpet  is written at concert pitch, allowing the trumpet to follow the vocal or piano score, while the B-flat sounds a second lower than written.    

All models in the Odyssey range of  high quality  brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard. It’s hardly surprising that, with over 50  years experience  and having listened to the ‘wants’ of countless  high profile  musicians, this master craftsman is one of the most sought after  custom brass and woodwind builders in the world.   

The attractive price tag,  ( Basically two trumpets for the price of one  - Bb/ C )  generous bore size ( 0.46"/11.73mm )   and the smooth operation of the  Monel  valves, are just a few of the features that have made the Odyssey  Premiere  'C'  Trumpet  a  favourite  with musicians around the world. The bore size alone combines the best of projection volume and air flow, delivering an abundance of signature  Trumpet  sounds with exceptional tonal qualities.  

Red   Brass, also  known as   Rose brass  has the highest copper content at around 90% and gives a warmer and mellower tone than that of alloys with a higher zinc content.

With a r ose brass bell  ( 4.79"/121.7mm   and r ose brass lead  pipe, nickel  outer   brass tuning slides, water key and  Monel  valves, the Odyssey Premiere ' C'  Trumpet  with a clear lacquer finish  and two material build  is a real eye catcher without doubt, but it’s also the performance to cost ratio that makes this beautiful  Premiere ' C'  Trumpet  a winner. Players from students to seriously professional musicians have commented on the excellent response, superb intonation and the  high quality  materials chosen in the construction.  

The 7c size mouthpiece, with its shallower, medium cup size is ideal for beginners, offering less effort to produce smooth sounds and reach the higher registers, whilst combining the natural deeper, darker tones the  Trumpet  is known for, tones that are unique among brass instruments and play a major role within orchestras, jazz and  commercial  bands.  

The response, intonation and all around performance of the Odyssey Premiere 'C' Trumpet coupled with the high quality materials, make this an ideal instrument for the first time player, teacher, or the most experienced musician.
