The Philharmonia
Orchestra has a long tradition of using rotary valved trumpets
for the Austrian and German repertoire and during my time
as Principal trumpet I have used instruments of many different
manufacturers.
Whilst I had been very happy with these instruments in the
classical and early romantic repertoire I was less comfortable
using them in the heavier repertoire such as Bruckner and
Mahler.
When I realised that the orchestra had scheduled a performance
of Bruckner 8 with Esa Pekka Salonen, I was determined to
find an instrument that enabled me to make the sound that
I wanted.
On trying the Schagerl Hörsdorf Heavy C trumpet I was
immediately struck by the even sound and intonation.
The workmanship
and finish is beautiful- so much so that every time I play
it someone always asks me about it (and they are not all trumpet
players!) I was also delighted that whilst the instrument
fulfilled my expectations in the Bruckner, it was equally
impressive in the smaller repertoire. I am delighted that
I have at last found a rotary valved trumpet that I am as
comfortable playing as my piston valved C trumpet!

Review from Jon
Holland:
The Schargerl rotary
valve trumpets we have been using are the Horsdorf Bb trumpet,
Horsdorf "Heavy" Bb trumpet and Horsdorf "Heavy" C trumpet.
As we are accustomed to the American piston valve trumpets
and have to swap between instruments frequently, we were looking
for a traditional dark rotary valved trumpet sound with a
feel that is compatible with the piston trumpets. The Schagerl
trumpets fit the bill perfectly in this respect, as well as
offering excellent intonation, quality craftsmanship and finish.
The “heavy” instruments produce a true, traditional Germanic
rotary valve trumpet sound and have a particularly solid sound
and feel, whilst the standard weight Bb trumpet has a little
more focus and provides an easy blend with the C trumpet.
We congratulate Karl Schargerl on these superb instruments
and would highly recommend them.
