Product details
It took the Schagerl team and me longer than planned, but the end result, in my opinion, can be both seen and heard!
My new OPUS F trombone offers the best of all worlds: a strong core fortissimo that never spreads (rarely can one play so close to painfully loud volume levels and yet maintan a beautiful sound!). At the other end of the spectrum, in piano dynamics it retains an a pleasantly round character in all registers. Legato passages come out as soft as Alpine butter warmed by the summer sunshine.
The overtone-rich tone quality and the simple repsonse of the OPUS F makes it fun to play in a lyrical style. The are no “problem tones”, so much so that the intonation of the overtone series is flawless, all of which make this a reliable parter in all my work with Mnozil Brass.

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.

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.
