Manufacturer: Schagerl Meisterinstrumente

Schagerl, a family business with the highest commitment to quality, has always dedicated itself to the manufacture of high-quality instruments. The 1990s marked a turning point when the collaboration with the renowned Professor Hans Gansch began, leading to the development of the exclusive rotary valve trumpet line. After intensive research and testing phases, Schagerl presented the first professional C rotary valve trumpet, the Classic Line model. With Robert Schagerl as the master craftsman and the expertise of Hans Gansch, this instrument was produced in a limited edition until the year 2000. In 2001, on the 40th anniversary of the company, this model experienced significant further development, leading to the birth of the VIENNA model W-2001 . In 2006, this model was updated under the name Vienna with detailed improvements. Another breakthrough in rotary valve trumpet manufacturing occurred in 2010 with the transition of the entire series to a state-of-the-art CNC-manufactured, completely in-house precision valve block. On the occasion of our 60th company anniversary in 2021, the existing Vienna model was completely revised in close cooperation with Matthias Kernstock, the principal trumpeter of the Vienna Symphony, further improving the proven sound concept of Schagerl instruments.
Schagerl remains true to its motto In Quality we trust , setting a standard in the world of professional rotary valve trumpets.

Otmar Gaiswinkler (Vienna Symphonie Orchestra)

"The new Aurora. The new valve and other slight modifications to the instrument have made it a real stunner. The extreme smoothness through all registers with a great sound that can be modeled at the same time. A HAMMER! That's how I imagine it. Sorry... I don't know of any other instrument that even comes close!"

Alexander Pasolli (Brandenburg State Orchestra Frankfurt)

"I tried out trombones from various manufacturers for about a year, but none came close to the ease of response of the new Aurora. The tenor and alto trombones impress above all with their incomparably easy response. I was also immediately impressed by the new valve, which is manufactured by Schagerl itself. Short travel and an open playing feel despite the small design. That's how I like it! The best valve my thumb has ever felt. The modification with the silver rim gives the Aurora a voluminous and slightly darker sound and corresponds exactly to my idea of sound. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my professor Otmar Gaiswinkler, who developed this fantastic instrument in collaboration with the other trombonists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Thank you Otmar! Thank you Schagerl! "

Maria Peer (Director of the Ottensheim State Music School)

“The Aurora: a trombone with a very beautiful and overtone-rich sound, extremely easy response, yet remains compact and robust in forte, balanced tuning through all registers and slides, valve notes sound open and also respond very well, the Aurora is comfortable to hold, has little weight and is very versatile: I have a lot of fun with this wonderful instrument!”

Every musical instrument is unique, not only in its construction, but also in the way it is finished, which has a significant influence not only on its appearance, but also on its sound and maintenance. Here we take you through the different finish options we offer and explain what makes each one different.

**Gold plating:**
The gold plating of our instruments not only gives them an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also influences the sound character. An instrument with a gold-plated finish offers a darker, warmer sound, ideal for musicians seeking a deep and rich tone color. In terms of maintenance, gold-plated instruments are quite uncomplicated. They are durable and only require gentle cleaning to maintain their shine.

**Silver-plated:**
Silver-plated instruments are known for their radiant, broad sound. This finish is ideal for musicians who prefer a clear presence and wide-ranging sonority. Although silver-plated instruments require more maintenance, they are durable and resistant to the daily demands of music-making.

**Lacquered:**
A lacquered instrument is characterized by a focused, pithy sound. This finish is perfect for those who prefer a clear and direct sound. However, the longevity of a lacquered finish is limited; it can show signs of wear after just one year, with no guarantee of durability. Gentle care is required to prolong its life.

**Vintage (Clear/Matt):**
Vintage instruments also offer a focused, robust sound. These instruments are easy to maintain and are available in two finishes: clear and matte. While the clear version emphasizes traditional elegance, the matte finish offers a more subtle, understated look. Both variants require only gentle care.

**Raw:**
Instruments with a raw finish deliver a gritty, open sound that is particularly popular with jazz and blues musicians. Theoretically, these instruments do not require regular maintenance, but verdigris can build up over time, which can deposit on musicians' hands. Although this patina is an added attraction for some, musicians should be prepared to deal with dirty hands.
