Woupsy, my bad, just watched part 2. Oiram sounds better imho

@@jacqueschamma3045 - The Van Laars were very nice horns; I especially liked the brushed gold B5. However, none of them (or the others) come close to the Martin Böhme "Tumultus" I now have. Cheers!

@@JoeBabiak since then I tried the oiram 1, 3 and 4 and didn't like the way they played (I play jazz) even if they're beauties. I liked the B7 best

100% !

You're welcome! I don't know if I played is Clarus model...but I can guarantee you the Clarus plays with ease, smoothly, and with beautiful tone...as with all of Martin's instruments! I hope you can try one for yourself...cheers!

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't. It's the only one that I don't remember the model. But I remember it played well and had a nice dark sound.

​@@JoeBabiak Thankyou for your response...in the meantime i think i found out what model it was: K%H Topline...but indeed, Adams trumpets have better ratings...only i don't have the money for such an expensive trumpet...So i'm planning on buying the Schagerl Mnozil...which also has good reviews...At this moment i have a Roy Benson TR-202 which is adequate for the time being...it has a really nice design...but is made in China...

@@BananaZen7 - Cool. I would also HIGHLY recommend checking out Martin Böhme and his trumpets! Best horns I've ever played! In my opinion, better than Monette, Lotus, etc. Here's the video from when I got my Tumultus trumpet by Martin Böhme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHiXiaWDbbWkhcksi=BzOoykAcAPyDkSil

It's a previous version of MAB's "Double Guitar Solo."

Greetings Thomas, thanks for your warm message! Based on what you’re looking for, I would absolutely 100% recommend Martin’s horns. I searched far & wide for such a combination & his horns hit the bullseye!🎯 Do keep me posted! - JB

Hi & thanks for writing. The main difference was playability. With Martin’s horns I could get immediate responsiveness. His horns feel like they support me as I play & allow me to be very agile. On the Lotus horns, the exact opposite; I felt them fighting me & greater resistance. The Lotus horns also didn’t feel as open, especially in the low register. Tone-wise, my Tumultus by Martin Böhme was precisely what I was looking for; a warm, buttery, dark sound, without sacrificing responsiveness. The Lotus horns have a smooth tone, but thinner sounding to my ear & not quite as dark as I wanted, & again, more difficult for me to play. *That all being said, this was my personal experience. Yours could totally be different.

Greetings! I chose my Martin Böhme horn because it played like a dream. Effortless & very responsive. It feels like the horn actually supports me as I play. Whereas in my personal experience, the Lotus horns actually fight me as I play & don’t feel as open. The Lotus horns have a smooth tone, but the sound & playability of my Tumultus was precisely what I was looking for; warm, dark, & super responsive.

Greetings & thanks for writing. If I remember correctly (it’s been a while) the K&H horn played well & had a bit of a darker sound, which I like. However, I didn’t play that model for long nor did I try other from the company…so something must not have grabbed me. That being said, I don’t recall anything negative about it either.

Hi. The price list can be found on Martin’s website here: martinboehme.com/en/pricelist.

Greetings. I tried both the red XL & red L bell; if I remember correctly, not a huge difference between the two. They’re perhaps a tad darker & smokier sounding than the L yellow brass bell. I was definitely going for something warm & dark sounding, but after testing the yellow brass, it was obvious that that was the right choice; more responsive without sacrificing the dark sound I wanted.

I really liked the B5. Probably would have gone with it had I not discovered my Tumultus by Martin Böhme.

Greetings Ian & thanks for your message! I was just playing my Tumultus earlier tonight and thought to myself “damn I love this horn!” Even just holding it feels good. So I can say with all certainty, it remains the best & most inspiring trumpet I’ve ever played/owned. No doubt. Honestly, I don’t even think about my old A4 since getting the Tumultus. And considering your application, I would suggest checking out Martin’s “Tumultus LL” model. That could fit you nicely. At any rate, I hope you can make it down to his shop. Keep me posted!

@@JoeBabiak Thanks Joe, I was having the same thoughts about the LL model. My wife likes the sound of a trip to Basel so hope to make it there soon.

Yes, a trip to Basel would out you about an hour from Martin’s shop! Great idea!

Greetings! Initially, I liked the Schilke’s; they seemed to be very responsive horns and very even sounding from low to high. But the more horns I tested, the more the Schilkes fell into the background. I released a second comparison video in which I found my current horn (which blows all the others out of the water!). Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHiXiaWDbbWkhck

Hello again…between gold-brass & red-brass, I would choose gold-brass. It’s a nice inbetwen to yellow & red. My old A4 was a gold-brass bell; no complaints. But my Tumultus is yellow-brass and WAY more responsive, which I attribute partly to the material. Before the A4 I had a Bach 43 with a 43 lead pipe. That horn felt/played like shit compared to the A4 & Tumultus!

Hey Blaine, hope all is well brother! Yes, the Aquino is a very nice horn. Aside from the B5, the Aquino was my other favorite Van Laar horn; nice & dark. Yes, Martin’s XL red brass bell was actually the very first of his horns I played. I liked the 5.5” bell too, but, the L yellow-brass bell really seemed to help with the responsiveness I was going for. 100% made the right choice!

Much thanks! That’s the only full trumpet song at this point, but I plan to do more. 😊

I actually liked the sound of the A4…but over time, it began to annoy me (slotting was an issue due to its large bore size). But my new horn beats the A4 in every way! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHiXiaWDbbWkhcksi=FvoVgulX5_tR-gZS

Unfortunately not :(

Interesting observation...though I can assure you the Tumultus for me, was the most impressive & comfortable playing experience out of all the horns I tried.

Olá! Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the ES 335.

Yea, my ear prefers a darker tone, which works well for me since I do more solo work rather than playing within a section. Cheers!

Hello and thanks! Runner up trumpets...hmm...from the most recent batch of horns I tested (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ_YpHuiZtWfbK8), I would say some of the Van Laar trumpets (like the brushed gold B5) and the Klangwerkstatt Martin Böhme "Sturm & Drang" were also VERY nice. But for me, the "Tumultus" blew all the others away.

Thanks man! You have to understand that each horn will play differently for each player. Out of all the horns I tested, Martin’s horns made an immediate impression with me, and afterwards, it was quite obvious I had found my new horn. That all being said, I would still try to test them for yourself to discover what feels best for you.

A trumpet is going to sound like “a trumpet” (as opposed to something else) but yes, each player brings their unique touch. In my experience, the sound difference between trumpets can be quite different based on materials, weight, mouthpiece, etc. Capturing the sound through an iPhone homogenizes the sound of the horns too. One is able to fully appreciate the characteristics of different horns when playing them in person.

@@JoeBabiak the iphone has a pretty good microphone but you're right I didn't even think about that.

@@bonerici - Cheers man!

Perhaps.

It’s called eq

@@tomchojnowski9215 - Thanks for sharing your profound wisdom

Oh stop!😜

Thanks so much... happy you enjoyed them! Very appreciated. All the best!

Thanks buddy. The A4 was a good horn, really liked the sound, but the playability was tough. Sooo happy with the new horn, as you know 😉

Thanks! The B5 was definitely nice to play, but, that was before playing Martin Böhme’s horns. After that, all the others faded away and it was quite obvious I had found my new horn. ☺️
