Custom "Franken-Horn" Bb Trumpet - Jupiter Capital Body w/ Bach Stradivarius 37 Bell
For sale is an incredibly cool, one-of-a-kind Custom "Franken-Horn" Bb Trumpet. This unique build marries the reliable, rock-solid chassis of a Jupiter Capital Edition (CEB660) with the legendary acoustic power of a Bach Stradivarius Model 37 Bell. The result is an instrument that plays far above its price point. The addition of the professional Bach bell completely opens up the sound of the Jupiter valve block, delivering a rich, highly projecting, and colorful core tone. Visually, it is an absolute stunner, featuring a two-tone aesthetic with the lacquered Jupiter body and a gorgeous brushed finish on the Bach bell.
This is the perfect instrument for the gigging musician, jazz soloist, or advancing student who wants a professional-tier sound and a completely unique aesthetic without spending $3,000+ on a factory Stradivarius. If you love a horn that serves as a fantastic conversation piece on the bandstand but still delivers the acoustic goods when you put air through it, this custom build is going to put a massive smile on your face.
The Custom Advantage
- Bach Strad 37 Bell: The Model 37 is the most popular professional trumpet bell in the world, known for its rich, compact sound and brilliant projection. The brushed finish gives it a smoky, custom-shop look while adding a subtle warmth to the tone.
- Jupiter Capital Body: The CEB660 valve block provides smooth, reliable action.
- Sterling Silver Leadpipe: This is the hidden gem of this horn! The sterling silver leadpipe offers exceptional corrosion resistance while providing a lightning-fast response and incredibly focused, centered slotting.
- The Best of Both Worlds: The professional Bach bell "wakes up" the Jupiter body, providing an open, free-blowing feel and a massive resonance that you simply cannot get from a stock student or intermediate horn.
