Taylor Brass Instruments Variety

The company offers a great variety of trumpet and flugelhorn models. Among them, musicians can find the instrument that matches their artistic needs.

Such a trumpet model like Piranha, known as one of today’s most versatile trumpets, will satisfy seekers of wide dynamic range, light construction and huge sound.teylor trumpets custom trumpets by KGUmusic
Chicago models feature a few trumpets, each with its own advantages. Custom models allow brass players to experience more volume and sound with less effort. A bit lighter Standard trumpets are easier to play, with a wise weight distribution and more power and dynamic range than Lite models.

Lite trumpets, considered a good option for jazz bands and ensembles, can boast of even transmission of energy along the full length of the receiver and leadpipe. VR trumpets are aimed at musicians with a more traditional classical approach, and they can act like perfect lead horns.chicago teylor trumpet kgumusic
Taylor also creates Hybrids for those musicians who would like to renew or customize their instruments to give them a new life or push the artistic boundaries. The company can change some parts of instruments such as a leadpipe, bell, main tuning slide assembly. The Hybrids may also include incorporation of custom cap set or inlaid finger buttons into the original trumpet construction.teylor trumpets kgumusic
