Van Laar B1
Bb medium-large-bore trumpet · professional · current
The B1 has a lightweight bell and lightweight valve cluster. The sound is compact, with good projection and a bright sound with a fine sizzle in the high register. With its light response and great flexibility, one might call the B1 the “gem” of our collection.
