Marc Osterer (Parov Stelar and principal/lead trumpet of the Synchron Stage Orchestra)
„It is commonly said that there is no single trumpet that can do everything, and that trumpet players must often switch instruments to be able to play in orchestras, big bands, small jazz groups, and recording sessions. For the past few months, I’ve been playing only one instrument for all of these things: the Schagerl Penelope. Not only is it a physically beautiful instrument, the construction of the slides and valves feels perfectly aligned, more than any other trumpet I’ve played. Everything from the gold plating to the third slide stopper is perfect. But my favorite thing about this horn is the way it feels and sounds. It’s the perfect balance of small-bore response and large bore sound. Every note has its place, and feels secure even before articulating. The projection is so wide that I can hear my sound echo off the back wall of the concert hall. The only bad thing about owning the Penelope is the guilt that I feel for not ever wanting to play my other 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.
