There are many
things to consider when manufacturing trumpets. Here are some helpful tips:
Prioritize Quality of Sound and Durability
Although
technology has allowed for the creation of plastic trumpets, many professional
trumpeters still prefer the ones made of high-quality brass sheet metal due to
the better range of notes of the latter. Generally, this is something that is
influenced by your manufacturing method.
As for
durability, using a yellow brass channel (70-30 copper to zinc ratio) from an
established supplier should go a long way to guaranteeing the longevity of the
instruments you manufacture. If you do not want to use yellow brass, ask your
supplier for other alternatives that work well with trumpets.
No Rainbows
As much as
possible, you should try to retain the metallic finish of your instruments.
While colorful or rainbow finishes can attract young children, many music
instructors advise their students to stay clear from colorful trumpets (and
other brass instruments) as the color scheme can hide corrosion and other
manufacturing problems.
A metallic
finish also offers a classic and elegant appeal. This is an important feature
as children will typically use their first trumpet for three to four years,
opening up the possibility of the learners outgrowing a colorful design.
