Jérôme Wiss 9/16 Model Trumpet
This is one of the coolest instruments we've had come through the shop! Here we have a Jérôme Wiss 9/16 model trumpet. This horn has more of a traditional style bell flare compared to the 6/20 model it is based after. It has a more traditional sound but with a nice sweetness and brilliance when pushed. This horn is pre owned although in excellent condition, and ready for a new home!
Check out the unique design on these pistons!
From Jérôme Wiss:
"The Bb trumpet by Jérôme Wiss is the culmination of immense acoustic research. It aims to perfect the pitch of the standard trumpet valve design.The shape of the bell is due to a request to brighten the sound of the model 6/20, making it more standard. A different mouthpipe and principal tuning slide as been designed to be in a complete harmony with the bell of this model. The new Wiss piston system facilitates flexibility and provides a full and uniform sound over the entire range. The acoustic work done upstream gives the trumpet a feel that is second to none. The new valve work on the trumpet renders a 3rd valve slide useless.
This horn has been ergonomically designed, offering playability and balance due to a very centered piston block. The hand position, slightly modified, allows a less tense position. The musician can breathe more freely and tires less quickly."
