Information about Temby Australia
"David Temby has made a quality breakthrough in instruments and has obviously put his heart and soul into their development. "
The overall sound of my Temby flute is rich, smooth and even. It blends superbly with any instrument.
The tonal quality of the Temby Professional trumpet is virtually identical to my 42 year old Mt.Vernon Bach. 
Bob Venier's Temby Vintage "BV" Trumpet
Bob Venier now plays his own Temby Vintage Custom "BV" model trumpet with Marcinkiewicz 3/3c concert hall mouthpiece.
David Temby "When i was a young player, I was captivated by Bob Venier playing beautiful lyrical jazz lines. He has remained my absolute favourite flugelhorn player since. Bob has been perhaps Australia's most versatile professional trumpet player for decades now, and his playing is as precise and heartfelt as ever. To have Bob playing one of my horns is a dream come true. He play tested a number of Temby models including cryo treated silver custom models, but finally settled on a custom raw brass "Vintage" instrument which we then modified to become his own signature model. His sound is magical on this horn - thanks Bob!"
Tim Priddy
Detroit Michigan trumpet pro - Tim Priddy spent the day with David Temby in February 2010 and ended up loving this horn so much that he purchased it.
Normally, after a 41 year career playing trumpet, one could usually assume that a player would have found the correct set-up (mouthpiece and horn). David Temby proved me wrong on that one!
I have played virtually every kind of trumpet on this planet, from classical to jazz, both old and new, boutique and off-the-shelf. While I find there is a use for each of these horns, not until playing a Temby trumpet did I settle for one horn that really can do it all. I am a commercial player—a player that relies on one horn to play a variety of styles and genres. The Temby Professional trumpet in silverplate gives the player a step up on the competition in a variety of ways:
Joe Camilleri plays Temby Saxello
This was a treasured moment in time when Joe Camilleri and his daughter Charlie make "time to play" at the Music Place last week. Joe played a Temby Custom Saxello on some recordings recently and decided that he "just had to have one to use for more projects" He really loved the tonal textures and great tuning for his demanding recording work. Joe is a perfectionist when it comes to music production, performing and songwriting. He always insists on using the best equipment available to make sure that the results live up to his stringent standards. This is the mark of the musical genius who has just celebrated 45 years of success in the Australian music industry. Whether it is one of his many, many guitars, his recording suite, the musos that he works with or his new Temby Custom Saxello ( a partner to his "Joe Camilleri Limited Edition Temby Australia Blues Horn - custom tenor sax) ... Joe deserves and demands the best.
The Blues Horn
Only 10 will be made! - Joe Camilleri has one - will you?
Joe Camilleri now plays his own signature model sax developed in conjunction with David Temby.
Hall of Fame inductee and Australian music icon Joe Camilleri’s pink Selmer Mk6 tenor saxophone has been almost as legendary as the great man himself.
Unlike Joe, the saxophone has not withstood decades of extensive Australian and international touring. The Music Place workshop had provided constant life support services for years until Joe and David Temby decided to develop a replacement.
After several years of discussing Joe’s individual needs, designing, testing and prototyping, his new “Blues Horn” is ready to rock and roll!
“I have become more excited about my saxophone playing and are loving spending more time playing and exploring new things.”
The Music Place has one instrument available now. Only 8 more will be made!
