The Burbank Trumpet plays like a dream
Considered by professional players to be one of the finest trumpets in the world, the Burbank's design was engineered more than 50 years ago by Elden Benge, a professional musician and brass maker who was passionate about his craft. Unrelenting attention to detail and sound quality drove him to create an instrument that produces a big sound, superb intonation and easy, quick response in all registers. Now manufactured by Kanstul Musical Instruments, you can be assured that when you purchase a Burbank Trumpet, the quality and the sound is there.
Hand-hammered brass construction
Resno-tempered bell for resonance throughout all registers
First slide thumb throw, third slide finger ring, lead pipe finger hook, third slide stop rod, and Monel pistons with mother of pearl concave finger buttons
Available in silver plated or gold lacquer finish
The Burbank line offers a trumpet for every playing style. Once you've played a Burbank, you'll understand why we say it "plays like a dream."
