B&S Metropolitan C Trumpet - Reverse Leadpipe

Introducing the B&S METROPOLITAN – a new series of trumpets made 100% in the German tradition with American musicians in mind. The design features are thanks to a proud partnership between B&S and J. Landress Brass owner and renowned brass expert, Josh Landress.

The Metropolitan series is a complete departure from the already established Challenger Series as it has been completely redesigned from the ground up. Features of this revolutionary series include a 2-piece valve section, lightweight Monel piston stems, and a harmonic balancing system. The B&S Metropolitan C Trumpet model also features a newly designed leadpipe, mouthpiece receiver, bell flare, thickness and rim.

This new and “one-of-a-kind” model has been tested by some of the best orchestral musicians in the United States, the result of which will allow players of all kinds to have superior intonation, an exceptional balance of resonance and brilliance, and a perfect marriage of high-volume threshold, resistance, and control. As not all musicians are created equally, the unique harmonic balancing system provides musicians the ability to finely tune the instrument to fit their own unique personality.
