Temby Brass - Trumpets, Trombone and Discovery Brass

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:

Professional Pocket Trumpet. The sound of our pocket trumpet is somewhere in between a trumpet and cornet. This is a serious instrument featuring our fast and smooth valve action and easy to play airflow. If you are a budding Don Cherry - add this to your trumpet quiver now.

Professional short model cornet. Full rich sound but with easier airflow and less resistance then traditional brass band instruments. This instrument is equally at home playing jazz or in a band setting. Featuring our fast and smooth valve action and seamless moving 3rd valve and tuning slides.

Professional C Trumpet - Rose brass bell for a warm and round orchestral sound. Medium large bore and precise engineering and making result in an easy to play and enjoyable C trumpet experience. Combine this with ultra reliable and smooth valve action and excellent intonation, and you have a first class instrument.

Our Temby Rose Brass professional trumpet is leagues ahead of many other pro horns. The notes lock in to their centre really easily even in the double range - no drop back on the double f# even. The sound is versatile and has lots of warmth at low to mid volumes and plenty of cut at higher volumes - without the sound becoming thin and ugly.

Our intermediate model trumpets are amongst the best available and at the price compete with most student trumpets of far less quality and performance. The bonus of a high quality back pack case makes our trumpets the best value on the market. Your only choice now should be which finish - silver plated or lacquered?

This trumpet suits the player looking for a slightly darker sound than our gold lacquered pro trumpet, but still requiring loads of core to the tone, volume and reliability. Not quite so centred projection but more round sound.

For those players who want a versatile and affordable flugelhorn - this is your instrument. Our flugel has a warm and sweet sound but with the right amount of core and clarity for jazz and contemporary music. Intonation is superb along with great airflow - so you don't feel like the instrument is "pushing" air back at you! The air just floats through easily but still retains support to lock in notes securely.

Medium bore and medium light weight trombone. Excellent instrument to give a beginning trombonist or advancing player a great chance of success. Our trombone has an uninterrupted airflow due to precise high quality engineering, and making. Combined with highest quality materials there is just the right amount of air column support to enable all players to lock in to notes right across the range. A big, open, full and generous sound and security of notes is the result.

For those wanting even more clarity and note centring, Cryogenic Treatment is a great option.

The ideal tuba for younger students or those who want a light weight and portable instrument. Easy to play, good tone, reliable valves, big sound for its size. This is the ultimate affordable tuba.

Comes in either Eb or Bb Compact.
