Sonare Trumpets 900 Series TRB901S List Price $3150.00 USA Sterling Silver, Body Silver Plated Valve Adjustable. The Sonaré is that trumpet with a big, dark, controllable sound, good intonation, a unique valve system and impeccable fit and finish. “For years trumpet players have been buying Bachs and Yamahas off of the shelf and then modifying them with Blackburn leadpipes, cryogenic treatments, valve alignments, and all sorts of other treatments. Now players can skip all of that and buy a Sonaré with the same "modifications" already built into the horn. Brilliant!” Dr. Adam W. Gaines Professor of Trumpet University of Wisconsin—Green Bay Cliff Blackburn Beginning in 2011, Sonaré trumpets are built in Elkhart, Indiana by the E.K. Blessing company, with a leadpipe and mouthpiece designed and manufactured especially for this instrument, by noted designer Cliff Blackburn. Blackburn, regarded by many players as the pre-eminent maker of handcrafted trumpets in the USA, is especially well known for his leadpipes, which are normally sold as an after-market item. Meticulous attention is focused on the size and shape of the tapers. The result is a free-blowing trumpet appropriate for both classical and jazz, with impeccable intonation and response. “The horn allows me to play with a very focused sound. A lot of credit for this goes to the Blackburn leadpipe. The tone quality is unified throughout the range of the horn.” David Ferguson Trumpet Professor Indiana University of Pennsylvania Valve Alignment At Sonaré, we understand that one of the most notorious problems affecting trumpets is valve alignment. Our solution to that problem is exclusive. Sonaré's MicroLok™ valve system (patent pending), co-invented by Cliff Blackburn and Steven Wasser of Powell Flutes, revolutionizes valve alignment. During the production process, a custom-made tool sets the piston into its perfect radial and vertical alignment position. A set screw is then tightened to lock the adjustable valve guide and secure the Monel piston into place. While this adjustment is permanent, MicroLok allows the alignment to be easily reset at any time by a trained technician, without soldering. Valves can be easily cleaned and oiled without disturbing the alignment. “Due to the patent-pending adjustable valve guide, all notes respond equally; notes slot in easily and with terrific centre all the way down through the valve combinations. The Sonare trumpet plays like the trumpet you have always wanted, build quality is exceptional. The Sonare trumpet is a joy to play, and a joy to listen to.” Iain Muirhead Former Principal Trumpet Scottish Opera, Scottish National Orchestra Co-founder of The Wallace Collection (brass mutes and mouthpieces) Cryogenic treatment Cryogenic treatment is an after-market service often sought by professional players - at a cost of more than one hundred dollars! The deep-freeze treatment relieves stress in the metal that normally occurs during the making of a trumpet. The benefits of cryogenics for the player are a broader spectrum of colors and enhanced response, especially in the high register. Sonaré is the only maker of trumpets that offers cryogenic processing standard on their new instruments. “The rich, warm, focused and balanced tone on the Sonare trumpets allows me to freely express myself as an artist. I have used the 800 series in every musical situation possible and the horn just keeps asking for more, Bravo Sonare!!!” Seelan Manickam, Trumpet, Bala Brass Each Sonaré trumpet is carefully inspected and play tested before it leaves the factory by professional musicians. “I was amazed by the Sonaré trumpet. Just when I thought a trumpet was a trumpet was a trumpet, along came Powell with a new balance of all the qualities I look for in an instrument - a fresh tool with which to navigate the mysteries of the musical imagination. John Wallace, Principal Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama Lew Soloff"At my first big band gig with the Sonaré, a friend with ears I trust the most said that when I play that shiny horn (Sonaré 800L), you can't listen to anything else!" Lew Soloff, Solo Trumpet (former Blood, Sweat and Tears)
