We are the winner of the competition for the current Music Instruments Award with

our Bb- trumpet, model T053/B-L !

The German Music Instruments Award is advertised by the German ministry of economy and will

presented during the Frankfurt Music Fair in March. For the current competition were listed bassoon

and rotary Bb- trumpet. For trumpet, is took part 16 well-known German makers.

During a three months lasting battery of tests, the instruments were played from different musicians,

were measured with help of an computer assisted measuring system objectively, and not least, were

judged the handcraft quality.

Our Bb- trumpet convinced with her qualities without any criticism, a very pleasant feeling of playing

and the big flexibility in sound and resistance.

The main opinion of the juror: “This is a really good rotary trumpet!”

the new Custom- models W 293X, 393X, 313X

- Why tamper with success?

The current horn models has proven to be quite successful, from the Single Bb horns – through the double horns. Ricco Kühn horns have been made to the highest manufacturing and playing standards.

With a fluidity throughout all registers, and a big noble sound from the softest pianissimos to the loudest fortes horn players have been extremely eager to play these horns, and a lot of further players will be excited long into the future too.While creating the new 393 triple horn grew the idea, collected experiences to use for further models.

So has been created a furhter triple horn, from it derived a new Bb/F alto descant double horn, and a complete new double horn.

In playing the new models offer more scope in terms of colour and space. The response is more open, easy modifiable, the sound is more focussed and carrying.
As the model W 393, the new “custom” models have a more compact body which is perfectly balanced resulting in less fatigue after long periods of playing.

Bb- rotary cornet C 053/B (C)

The new rotary cornets ( also as C- cornet available) has been created on request and in collaboration with players of the Staatskapelle Dresden.

Response, resistance and playability are comparable with rotary trumpets absolutely. Players can use their normal trumpet mouthpiece without problems. Nevertheless, slurs are smoother to play and the sound is readily modifiable.

The new rotary cornets satisfied already within „Petruschka“, „Dornröschen“, „Don Carlo“ and other compositions with success.

D- rotary trumpet T 053/DX

As extension to the „Custom“ series, now a D- rotary trumpet is available. Response, intonation, sound and finish of this trumpet corresponds the known standard.

A further model with exchangeable bell as well as a combined D/Eb model is coming soon.
