Van Laar BR3
Bb medium-large-bore trumpet · professional · current
The BR3 has a wonderful ‘zing’ to its sound and it projects with exuberance and a slight edginess. The high register is loud and clear, almost piercing, with the sound virtually jumping out of the horn. This trumpet has a medium-plus resistance and produces the kind of sound that gets right across the hall.
