The Schagerl B-Trumpet "1961" - an instrument developed in collaboration with Prof. Jack Burt from the University of Maine, designed to merge the American style with clarity, focus, and flexibility.
The Model 1961 leaves nothing to be desired. It captivates with its brilliant, warm, and far-reaching sound, which not only excels in orchestral performances but also in solo and chamber concerts. The trumpet offers an even playing feel, quick response, and excellent intonation, making it the ideal choice for musicians seeking a balance between tradition and innovation.
With the Schagerl "1961" in hand, musical expression knows no bounds. It is not just an instrument but a partner that captures and amplifies every nuance of your musicality.

"My first experience on a Schargerl trumpet was when James Morrison began his relationship with them many years ago. James graciously lent me a prototype of his model at the time and so my experience on these beautifully crafted instruments began. Fast forward to the present day and I have recently taken possession of the new WM 1961 model. The WM model is a beautiful free blowing instrument that plays very evenly and in tune across the whole range of the instrument at soft and loud dynamics. This horn really centres well giving loads of confidence when having to pluck a note or line out of nowhere. The 1961 model is a great all round trumpet whether going for a sizzling sound in a big band or a warm round sound in an orchestral environment, this horn really holds it's own. As in my past experience, I've found the quality and workmanship on all the Schagerl horns to be nothing short of perfect with an excellent choice of amazing finishes"

Schagerl crafts some of the most high quality trumpets in the world. Every single one of my horns are beautifully made, and they help me produce the sound quality that I dream of. The instruments are pristine, versatile, and extremely unique. The 1961 Bb and C trumpets combine the best of both worlds with its gorgeous tone quality, while also maintaining ease in the efficiency of the horn. It plays extremely well in tune, and it helps me feel like I’m not doing extra work to compensate for any issues. I use both the Bb and C 1961 models every day, and they enhance my playing experience greatly.

"The sound of this instrument is effortlessly beautiful at all dynamic levels. It is so easy to mould the sound to match the style and mood of the music. The pitch is incredibly accurate across the full range, and the resistance feels just right. I have been searching my whole career for a horn that could play soft and warm ballads one minute, and sizzling lead trumpet sounds the next - I have finally found what I have been looking for! Thank you for producing such beautifully crafted and wonderfully playing trumpets - the Schagerl 1961 WM horn is quite simply the best trumpet I have ever played!"

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.
