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.

“For me, this is like the Holy Grail of trumpets! Never before have I found an instrument with such richness to the tone, which will purr when I play softly and really scream when I lean on it, but is also really easy to play. Every trumpet I ve played up to now has been a compromise; either it sounds exactly the way I want it to OR it s small enough, with the right balance of resistance, so I can play Lead Trumpet on it all day and night. This amazing instrument does both! The slotting and tone quality are even from the bottom to the very top of the register. It responds really well to different mouthpieces; I ve been able to blend effortlessly with all kinds of other players, in all kinds of music. The build quality is fantastic and it looks beautiful, too! I could go on and on about it, but the simple fact is that you have to try it for yourself! I couldn t be happier!!”

Lukas Zeilinger (Teaching assignment for trumpet at the University of Music in Saarbrücken)

“As an orchestral trumpeter and hobby jazz player, the Schagerl James Morrison is a wonderful addition to my instrument collection. In contrast to many other flugelhorns, it is incredibly pleasant and easy to play in many ways. This is expressed in a multifaceted range of tonal colors, allowing the trumpet to sound 'clear and present' as well as 'warm and soft', along with a very comfortable playing resistance and extremely balanced intonation, which proves to be stable even with mouthpieces featuring large backbores. Playing beautiful melodies and lines is incredibly fun and easier than ever before with other flugelhorns. Its versatility ranges from technically demanding solo literature to powerfully dynamic big band phrases and even orchestral literature, such as a lyrical passage like 'Don Pasquale', effortlessly showcasing the versatility of this fantastic trumpet! The culmination of these great features ultimately convinced me to purchase my new Schagerl Team trumpet.”

"The "James Morrison" model with gold brass bell offers me as a player everything I look for in a trumpet. It has impeccable intonation, a direct, effortless response and a very pleasant, consistent resistance through all registers. I particularly liked the very variable sound right from the start. The instrument has many different tonal facets and can be used in a variety of styles without restriction. Its robust sound blends excellently with other trumpets and never becomes unpleasant or intrusive, even in higher registers and volumes. As I am mainly at home in big bands, I was looking for an "all-round" instrument with which I could play section, solo and lead trumpet without having to restrict myself in terms of playing or sound. I found exactly this flexibility in the Schagerl "James Morrison"!"

Harold Madrigal Frias (International Artist)

"My Schagerl trumpet is simply the perfect tool to help me transition smoothly from the classical music world to commercial and popular music playing. Its warm sound and wide sound spectrum enables me to go from a morning rehearsal of Mozart with the Havana Lyceum Orchestra to a night filled with Mambo and Cuban music solos. It makes my world much easier and I will be forever grateful to Karl Schagerl for making this possible. My Schagerl trumpet was organised as a surprise from my dear friend Sarah Willis. It was made possible by the Instruments for Cuba fund set up as part of her Mozart & Mambo project together with the generousity of Karl Schagerl. In Cuba it is a rare thing to receive a brand new instrument and seeing the name Schagerl and unboxing the trumpet, I was like a kid opening a treasure. Playing the trumpet for the first time was an unforgettable moment and it remains my most prized posession."

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.
