GEWA Bb Trumpet TR372R Vision, Reversed, Lacquered

The TR372R is the top model of GEWA Germany's Vision series in its reversed version. It is aimed at advanced players who like a free, open feel and are looking for more tonal colour. The Vision series is the mid-range line from GEWA Germany in Adorf, in the Vogtland region – made for advancing students, ambitious amateurs and wind orchestra players who want a reliable, great-sounding instrument without a professional price tag.

With a reversed leadpipe, the tuning slide is turned around: the leadpipe runs straight into the tuning slide with no gap in between. The result is a freer blowing feel and a direct, lively tone. The leadpipe is gold brass, and the rim of the two-piece bell is wire-reinforced and soldered – for a particularly resonant sound that carries well.

Nickel silver outer slides and two-piece valve casings of brass and nickel silver make the TR372R durable. The stainless steel valves with aluminium valve stems run lightly and quietly, and the thumb saddle and finger ring help with intonation. It comes in a high-quality GEWA Germany gig bag.
