KGUmusic RS2 Model Trumpet - Brass Version

The RS2 Model represents the second generation of KGUmusic’s RS trumpets. While maintaining the proven foundation of the original series, this version introduces subtle yet meaningful improvements in design, including newly styled bell braces that add both strength and visual elegance. The RS2 continues the tradition of combining precision engineering with distinctive design, offering musicians a reliable instrument with unique character.

This trumpet can be ordered in several variations, giving players the freedom to customize their instrument:

1. Brass body with nickel-silver tubing combinations.
2. Full brass construction.
3. Handmade bells available in brass, red brass, or a hybrid combination of both metals.

At the heart of every RS2 trumpet is a handcrafted bell by master Andy Taylor, delivering a responsive feel and a rich tonal palette.
