Kessler Custom Intermediate Trumpet

Intermediate Model – Bell
The bell used on our Intermediate trumpet is a 4.8″, yellow brass with a soldered bead. The soldered bead makes a huge difference in the performance of a trumpet. Soldering the bead of the bell helps it to vibrate as 1 piece of metal. If you don’t solder the bead, the brass of the bell and the steel wire inside the bead can vibrate against each other and actually cancel out the overall vibration of the bell thus negatively impacting your trumpet’s performance!

This bell produces a full tone with excellent response and projection. A very versatile performer for any style of music!

Intermediate Model – Leadpipe
The leadpipe of our intermediate trumpet is a Goldbrass leadpipe that is paired with a traditional squared tuning slide. The Goldbrass pipe is more durable than a traditional yellow brass pipe and provides a richer, more focused tone. We elected to go with the squared main tuning slide in order to provide more stable intonation and slotting, especially in the upper register of the horn.

Heavy Top & Bottom Caps
All of the Kessler Custom trumpets utilize heavy weight top and bottom valve caps. 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. This combined with the goldbrass leadpipe, squared tuning slide & soldered bead helps increase the performance capability of the horn into another level!

Artist Series Valves
The valves used on our Artist Series trumpets are of the highest quality Stainless Steel alloy 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.
