Lechner.
An Austrian rotary-brass atelier. Concert and jazz trumpets, flügelhorns, piccolos, posthorns, tenor and bass trombones, flügel and Wagner tubas, plus historical specialties — barocktrompete, corno da caccia, Fürst-Pless-Horn, parforcehorn, cimbasso. Roughly thirty hours go into each instrument.
Mein Weg zum
goldenen Klang.
The atelier’s autobiography carries the title “Mein Weg zum goldenen Klang” — my path to the golden sound. The atelier sits in the Austria, and the trumpets are handmade in the Austro-German rotary tradition. Roughly thirty working hours go into each high-quality trumpet or flügelhorn.
The atelier’s production is, by design, slow. The result, the atelier’s own framing, is a sound that becomes better in playability and quality from year to year — a contrast to the series instrument that is, instead, optimised once and replicated.
