| This pro-level trumpet began life as a factory-modified Phaeton PHT FX-1100. Using my status as a Phaeton dealer, I was able to order these horns retaining all the features I personally liked but incorporating some changes, both aesthetic and functional, that I thought would further improve the instrument. Some of these changes are obvious, such as adding Amado water keys and changing the style and location of bracing. Other changes are more subtle and will remain proprietary. The final finish work was done by Tom Green of Green’s Buffing in Elkhart, IN. I commend Tom for his excellent work and contributions to this project. Here are the specifications for the RAPTURE trumpet: |
- Bore: 0.462”
- Bell: 4 7/8”
- Finger Buttons and Top/Bottom Valve Caps: Hex-Shape Heavyweight Brass
- Lead Pipe: Fast Taper, Reversed
- Valves: Monel
- Slides: Nickel-Silver Plating, Reversed
- Engraving: GHP BRASS on Receiver and RAPTURE Logo on Bell
- Finish: Bead-blast and bright gold-lacquer
