Product details
The "Roman Empire" trumpet is not only a masterpiece of flexibility in all registers, but it also allows you to extend the dynamic boundaries far beyond the known limits. Thanks to the development of our own machine stock directly at Schagerl, we were able to pursue innovative paths in sound design.
The centered sound, enriched with rich overtones, gives every player a powerful spectrum of sonic possibilities that leaves nothing to be desired. With the "Roman Empire," musical boundaries are shattered and pure playing fun is guaranteed.Tune Bb Bell 123 mm / Yellowbrass Material .0196" / 0,50 mm Bore .460" / ML Leadpipe Goldbrass Finish silver plated 
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.

Roman Rindberger (Mnozil Brass)
“I am excited to present the trumpet 'Roman Empire' as my 'Schagerl-Signature' instrument! My wish was to receive an instrument that meets the demands of my concerts with Mnozil Brass and all the challenges of our repertoire. That means: full flexibility in all registers, as well as the ability to fully exploit the dynamic limits in every direction. Especially, the development of a machine stock produced in-house by Schagerl has only made many of these parameters possible, as it allowed us to unleash our creative energy. The centered and overtone-rich sound gives the player a powerful range of tonal possibilities. There are no longer any limits to the enjoyment of making music!”
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.
