The Model 1088 bass trumpet features a 7″ diameter one piece yellow brass bell appropriately matched with a .485″ bore. Designed by Zig Kanstul and tested by first-call studio players Alan Kaplan and Charlie Loper. A bold, brassy sound and excellent intonation make the Model 1088 perfect for both jazz and symphonic use. The mouthpipe is removable and optional pipes will offer different playing characteristics.

The Model 1088 is played by Brian Davis, principal euphoniumist of the Dallas Wind Symphony (and long-time utility for DSO), and is used at The Colburn School in Los Angeles.
