Seven and a half months ago I used testing ‘t Kreng’s water pump as an excuse to visit renowned trumpet builder Van Laar Trumpets in Margraten. The brief for the visit being to pick a date to select a new trumpet. And as the title suggests, I assume this will be the last new trumpet in my 55 year long career playing all sorts of trumpets, cornets and flügelhorns. So I decided on something a little different.
Of course being a trumpet the most important selection criterion was how it sounds and plays. But the trumpet’s looks was also important. And glad the instrument I had initially chosen for its looks (an Oiram light III) also came out best with two other models being equally good! The long wait for its completion could begin. Till yesterday that is, when I picked it up. And yes it sounds as good as it looks!
