Stomvi C Trumpets

In 1976, Vicente Honorato Ibáñez started a company to manufacture fine jewelery. An avid music lover, he decided in 1982 to dedicate his life to the design and production of high quality brass instruments. It was two years later that he introduced the Stomvi line of trumpets and mouthpieces to the world. Ibáñez contributed all his jewelers' skill to the creation of Stomvi instruments, incorporating his expertise in machining and problem-solving---his story is similar to that in the 16th and 17th centuries at Nuremberg, where musical instruments were created by goldsmiths and jewelers of that period. Those who know Ibáñez say he has a virtuoso's ear and can distinguish the finest subtleties of pitch and timbre. He tailors his instruments to the requirements of the great instrumentalists who visit him every day. His Stomvi manufacturing plant is located in the city of Xirivella (Valencia), Spain.

Stomvi Titan C Trumpet
$4,000.00
Available Exclusively at Thompson Music!
Thompson Music is the exclusive U.S. dealer of Stomvi USA's Titan trumpets.

The Titan series of instruments were born out of Vicente's love for Classical music---one of his favorite works is Mahler's First Symphony, also known as "The Titan." The Titan trumpets feature Stomvi USA's trademark BellFlex alloy, and have great pitch, slotting, and a big sound. The entire trumpet section of the British Royal Philharmonic Orchestra currently plays Stomvi Titan trumpets.

The purchase of this instrument includes a precision valve alignment by the technicians at The Brass Spa. This upgrade dramatically improves tone, slotting, and response. The Brass Spa alignment is a $200 value, available free of charge exclusively to Thompson Music customers.

Stomvi USA Spach C Trumpet
$3,550.00
The ultimate modified and upgraded Bach C trumpet, the Spach C is a recalibrated Bach 229 or 239 with a new Stomvi leadpipe. (The 239 produces a darker, richer, broader sound, and the 229 a brighter and more focused sound with more core and better projection.)

The typical Bach C trumpet suffers from a "zig-zag" intonation pattern: G4 is flat, C5 is slightly sharp, E5 is flat, G5 is very sharp. This necessitates false fingering and/or embouchure adjustment by the player. As a result, the timbre often changes from note to note.

Using Perturbation Theory as outlined by Bill Cardwell and working with Gary Bast, K.O. Skinsnes (acoustician and instrument designer at Stomvi USA, and founder of The Brass Spa: "Spa" + "Bach" = "Spach") physically tested many Bach C trumpets using a Salpingometer and found the inherent problems in their air column. They are able to manipulate the acoustic wave to improve the intonation down to the level of human discrimination.

This is a complicated process that really works! No more false fingering the E, Eb, G or other notes. The Spach C trumpet's intonation is impeccable, a vast improvement over a standard Bach. As a result you get an easier blow and more constant timbre.

Spach C trumpets feature:
• Recalibrated Bach Air Column
• Improved New York Style Receiver
• New Leadpipe
• Reverse Tuning Slide
• Bell Tail Optimization
• Regulated Valve Alignment
