Kessler Custom Professional Silver Trumpet – Artist Series

Professional Model – Solid Silver Leadpipe
The leadpipe of a professional trumpet is one of the most acoustically important pieces of the instrument. Any change made here has drastic impacts on the performance and feel of the trumpet as a whole but especially to the response and resonance of the trumpet. So to assist in as quick of a response as possible, we chose to use Solid Sterling Silver (92.5% pure silver) for the leadpipe on our pro series horns. The Sterling Silver pipe provides improved resonance and response to the instrument throughout the whole range. The upper register is bigger and more responsive and the lower register is free-er blowing and sweeter. Everything about our professional silver trumpet is amplified by the Solid Silver leadpipe maximizing your performance!

Professional Model – Bell
The bell used on our Professional Trumpet is a 5″ diameter, Goldbrass alloy with a soldered bead. This bell produces a rich and powerful tone but offers excellent response and projection. Designed to give both sizzle and sweet, this bell is an ideal design for all musical styles and levels. From the high school concert player to the professional pit musician and up to top rate lead jazz player, this bell does it all!

Artist Series Valves
The valves used on our Pro Series trumpets are of the highest quality Stainless Steel valves that we have ever come across. Fit and finish of the valves is absolutely exceptional, providing performance that rivals valves on $4,000+ trumpets and is reliable and durable.

Heavy Valve Section & Copper Stems
All of our Kessler Custom trumpets, including our Pocket & Intermediate models, have heavy top and bottom caps just like the Pro Series horns. However, the Pro Series trumpets also have upgraded solid copper valve stems instead of traditional aluminum. By adding additional mass near the center balance spot of the horn (the valve section), this helps the horn produce a richer tonal core in a way that does not throw off balance in response of the instrument. The heavier stems also assist to improve valve action as the weight of the stem helps in pushing against the spring on the downstroke. The Copper Stems were added in 2023 as another way of further enhancing this concept on the pro models.
