This is a picture with a story. Two Legends, from different fields, who have admired each other unreservedly, for decades: Peter Erskine, former drummer for Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Weather Report, the WDR Big Band, and so many others, and Hans Gansch, former principal trumpet of the Vienna State Opera and Vienna Philharmonic.
Hans first heard Peter almost 50 years ago, in the late 70’s, with the Stan Kenton band, in the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and immediately became a huge fan. Although they didn’t meet. Hans followed his career for years. Hans had dreamed of a career as a big band trumpeter, he loved jazz, and was a huge fan of the great Big Bands, like Kenton and Ferguson, but his career took him in another direction.
The two finally met in the 90s, in Mank, when Peter appeared with the Schagerl Big Band, where performed and gave workshops. Peter was given Han’s recordings of the Haydn and Hummel Concertos, and “Da oane Summa”, Hans’ famous recording of Alpine flugelhorn folk duets (with Reinhold Ambros). Peter was floored by Hans’ playing, and tone quality. The friendship between then then developed over the years, with subsequent visits to Austria.
Peter and Hans met again recently, this January in Vienna, when Peter also met and worked with Thomas Gansch on a recording project. Full circle.
My connection with the names Schagerl and Gansch is an interesting story, involving both Peter and Hans. It demonstrates both the remarkably small the world of musicians, and also how one moment can change a life – in this case, mine. In 2001, I was in my office at Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Peter passed my open office door. He was appearing as Guest Artist at our Jazz Festival. As he glanced into my office, he noticed a rotary trumpet on a trumpet stand. He stopped in, and began to tell me about his favorite CD, one he always listened to – ”It’s so beautiful, you need to hear it!” He was talking about “Da oane Summa”, Hans’ folk duet CD. He later went to the trouble to send me a burnt CD. I fell in love with it, not only the lovely music, but mostly, Hans’ incomparably beautiful playing. I immediately contacted Karl Schagerl for my own CD (I bought extras for my friends), and the printed music as well. I haven’t met Peter again, but he changed the direction of my life. He was the start of my connection to Schagerl – a random meeting in a music school in Texas,with one of the greatest jazz drummers of our time!

“Through the course of my professional career, which spans about 41 years now, I have had the opportunity to play and own a multitude of rotary valve trumpets. In my quest for the “perfect” instrument, each one has represented an improvement over the previous, in terms of sound quality, intonation and playability. I can say without hesitation that my new Schagerl Wien Heavy C trumpet is the best German trumpet I have played to date. It is incredibly responsive and takes very little effort to project. The intonation is about as good as it gets on a trumpet, rotary or otherwise. I have used it on several occasions already in the orchestra and have been very pleased with the results. Passages that have felt clumsy and prone to intonation problems are greatly improved. It is a joy to play, and this is not hyperbole. Thank you for building such a great instrument.”
“My Berlin Heavy Z C trumpet allows me to express whatever the music call for. The instrument always responds immediately with a brilliant sound, highlighting its finesse and ease of production. It is fantastic to play and its impeccable intonation and response in all dynamics/ registers make it incomparable to anything I have used. I am very happy to be using it in the orchestra regularly.”

In 2002 our Schagerl Ganschhorn was created at the request of Thomas Gansch!
It was important for Thomas that the trumpet could be operated perfectly with one hand and that it had the advantages of a rotary valve trumpet in terms of playing and sound.
On the occasion of this 20th anniversary and our 60th company anniversary, the Ganschhorn was updated and we started the GANSCHHORNCHALLENGE together with Thomas Gansch.
Anyone under the age of 18 could send in their musical contribution and had the chance to win the main prize, a SCHAGERL Ganschhorn anniversary model.
Over 140 participants then picked up their instruments and sent us and Thomas great videos.
From all the submissions, Thomas standardized the 10 best, greatest, most impressive contributions.
The Winner is Mihran Araqelyan (Youtube-Video)
We congratulate all winners and thank each and everyone for the great musical videos!

The winners Moritz Nowotny (2nd place) and Lukas Milchram (8th place) picked up their prize personally at our company. On this occasion you could visit our company and test all our models.
