“The new “Passion” model rotary C trumpet made by Alexander Weimann is excellent. It combines qualities of excellent intonation, response and technical agility with the full weighty sound associated with vintage rotary valved C trumpets. It is especially compatible to blend with and compliment the french horn sound in the orchestra, and we played them very successfully as part of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s recent Asian tour. These trumpets are well worth the effort to test as part of anyone’s search for a superior instrument to play alone or in the orchestra. Bravo!”
