Geschichte

Barely any energy loss:

By making wind instruments from carbon fiber compounds, it becomes possible to suppress those vibrations in the tube that simply waste energy. We can stiffen the bore walls in selected spots and in certain directions, or even make them comparatively softer – an enormous gain in freedom compared to the possibilities of traditional materials. It also becomes feasible to make certain parts of the instrument more rigid without increasing mass or weight. Instrument-makers, engineers, acoustic designers and musicians have worked together intensively to develop a trumpet which is remarkably easy to play yet produces a warm and rounded tone.

Excellent response – superb sound:

The daCarbo produces a warm, rounded tone across its entire range. It allows excellent articulation and can be played very easily indeed, using little energy. Unlike in light trumpets of conventional brass, however, the tone does not fade away in the upper registers. daCarbo trumpets can play one whole tone higher without extra effort on your part, allowing better performance and endurance in concerts.


«A warm material»

The carbon material feels pleasantly warm to the touch, because unlike brass it has very low heat conductivity and does not take heat from your hand. The air column in the instrument behaves in similar fashion, remaining almost at breath temperature regardless of the ambient temperature where you play and regardless of the instrument’s temperature. This reduces the need to re-tune after you have been playing for a while, and also reduces condensation build-up inside the instrument.

Corrosion-free:

The daCarbo’s carbon components are completely corrosion-free. This means that the inner surfaces of your tube and bore always retain the same high quality without the pitting corrosion typical for brass instruments.

All the trumpeter’s advantages, at a glance:

• Less tiring

• Expanded tonal range

• Excellent response

• Full sound even in the upper register

• Corrosion-free and consistent in quality

• Less condensation build-up

• Very mechanically stable (does not dent)

Using less energy to handle your instrument means that you have more left over for making music; you can play for longer and be certain of hitting your high notes.
