Model 1601 Bb Trumpet
A Broadway hit and one of the most versatile trumpets you’ll ever play, the Model 1601 was designed by current NY / Broadway trumpet player Tim Wendt. Featuring a somewhat lighter weight bell, it was developed more as a “lead” trumpet, and has the capability to fit perfectly into any performance situation and part assignment.
Agile and efficient, and having an extensive range of tonal colors, this Signature model offers a consistent core of sound throughout all registers and dynamics, with a pitch center to match all its other outstanding performance characteristics. The Model 1601 easily matches and blends with other trumpets and trumpet players. Legendary Detroit trumpeter Marcus Belgrave plays this one as well.
