The AR Resonance Romantica!
What an amazing trumpet!
This one just came in on consignment and plays just great! There are a few cosmetic scratches on the instrument and also a handful of tiny mute pings on the bell. The third valve slide stop is not on the horn at the moment but is included with the instrument as well as all of the threaded inserts. The horn has great compression and is ready to rock!
Typically, this horn in this configuration would run $9400 + tariffs for the lacquered finish and polished inner bell (See Pics!) This barely noticeable cosmetic blemish does not affect the sound of this beautiful instrument in the slightest. Save a little money on this beautiful work of art!
Here's a video of the Romantica (not this actual horn but one very close):
The AR Resonance Romantica is an incredible trumpet. Most folks know how much I love the Olds Super Recording trumpets and honestly this horn reminds me of that horn except far easier to play. The trumpet comes with five threaded, interchangeable mouthpiece receivers to adjust the gap.
The sound of this trumpet is extremely resonant and responsive. The Romantica Bell is amazing and you will also experience an incredible fluidity of sound from the MAW valve block. This is a handmade piece of art and it won't last long in the shop!
Here's how Antonio describes this instrument:
ROMANTICA
Smooth as silk with a vintage sound
You like the sound vintage horns but you don't want to deal with the inconsistencies in intonation, compression issues and you want to use modern mouthpieces that can fix the gap problem once and for all?
Romantica is a light horn based on a bronze bell shaped like the Olds from the past.
The feel is tighter than on our other trumpets, more focused than Suprema and Estrema, with a quick response and a dark and smokey sound.
The leadpipe is lighter than usual and the bell stem has an additional gap that helps with the feel of precision.
This is the only trumpet we make that has a wire inside the bell rim for a more focused sound.
