Durable Design

The key phrase Trevor James uses often is not a tagline or a slogan but was the design objective for the Trevor James renaissance range of brass instruments. Trevor James has set a new standard in brass manufacture and design, making sure that all instruments are built to perform to the musician's needs. The cupronickel (copper-nickel alloy) slides are a great addition to the instrument due to their corrosion resistant properties. This way the slides will be easy to move, even if left for a long period

Rose Bell & Silver Finish

Orchestral musicians are extremely fond of bells in rose brass as they produce a much warmer sound and can achieve a broader and more powerful playing required by great works of the classical repertoire. In addition, the bright silver finish on the renaissance trumpet is not only aesthetically pleasing but will also keep your instrument looking newer for longer.

Everything You Need

The Trevor James trumpet comes with everything you need to get started. A backpack-style case is included for protecting your instrument while travelling. The case features a large side pocket designed to hold all your sheet music. Also included is the Trevor James 7C mouthpiece so you can waste no time getting started with your trumpet.

Renaissance Range

The new renaissance range from Trevor James has set a new standard in brass manufacture. These instruments have been uniquely designed and engineered to integrate perfectly into a British brass band. The renaissance range is ideal for those looking for a step-up from a starter instrument and wanting to progress their playing.
