The New Schagerl \u201cRaweni\u201d- The Best Of Both Worlds<\/div>\n

This is my new trumpet from Schagerl \u2013 although it looks a bit like a cornet, it is definitely a trumpet.
\nThe design comes from my wish to have a rotary valve instrument due to the different articulation you get compared to piston valves. I find the rotary sounds more precise and there is a smaller \u201cdead spot\u201d between when you push the valve and when the next note comes out clearly. This is particularly noticeable when playing quickly in the upper register (something I like to do).
\nSo if I want a rotary trumpet, why not just use one of the many Schagerl\u2019s that already exist?
\nRotary trumpets vary from their piston cousins in another way than just the valves\u2026 the lead pipe on a typical rotary is very short and goes from the mouthpiece straight into the 1st valve. The lead pipe on a piston trumpet is nearly 4 times as long, it goes out towards the bell and back into the 3rd valve. This difference in lead pipe length has a considerable effect on the sound and feel of the trumpet, particularly the power in the upper register.
\nSo the Raweni was conceived to be a rotary valved trumpet with a long lead pipe. This lead to several prototypes of different shapes and configurations until the beautiful instrument you see now. It actually still has the lead pipe going into the 1st valve (like any rotary) but only after a long trip out towards the bell and then back towards the mouthpiece \u2013 giving a length similar to a piston trumpet.
\nThe \u2018cornet \u2013 like\u2019 appearance was due to the fact that the rotors needed to be placed low (increasing the vertical dimension) and this lead to a decreased horizontal length \u2013 like a cornet. But as far as the tubing goes, this is all trumpet. The valve actuators, that look like pistons, were placed on top \u2013 so the instrument can be played with one hand. I need this for various reasons, including using a plunger mute, playing piano at the same time and conducting a big band whilst playing. It means the Raweni is played \u2018upright\u2019 like a piston trumpet, rather than on it\u2019s side like most rotarys. In this respect it is similar to that other wonderful Schagerl \u2013 the Gansch horn.
\nOne characteristic of the Raweni is that it is extremely warm sounding when played softly, almost like a flugel horn. When you blow it hard, it goes the other way and is even brighter than a regular trumpet. This \u2018breadth\u2019 of tonal range is very appealing to me for jazz work, as I can create a very intimate sound even without a mute and still \u2018scream\u2019 any time just by increasing the air.
\nFinally, why is it called the \u2018Raweni\u2019?
\nIt was decided to plate it with a combination of platinum and silver that looks black, hence the name of the black bird. Unfortunately there is a delay with this type of plating and so I asked for my first Raweni in gold plate. There is a second prototype on the way that will indeed be black and should look wicked!…Read more http:\/\/www.thetrumpetblog.com\/the-new-schagerl-raweni-the-best-of-both-worlds\/<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=“Technische Daten“ font_container=“tag:h3|text_align:left“ use_theme_fonts=“yes“ heading_line=“0″][vc_column_text el_class=“uebersicht“]<\/p>\n
