There's a dazzling array of high trumpets, which is why we like to keep it simple - we keep regular stock of the Bach Artisan ADE190 Eb/D and the Yamaha Custom 9835 Piccolo Bb/A Trumpets as these are the mainstream instruments normally required by orchestral players.
If you were looking for something a little special or different, do get in touch - chances are we can probably supply it!
Yamaha Piccolo Bb/A
High trumpets fall into two general categories, Instruments with or without interchangeable bells. To change the key of an instrument you need to change the length of tubing. Less expensive Eb/D instruments have an extra set of slides to change the instrument's pitch and Bb/A piccolos have an extra mouthpiece shank to lengthen the instrument from Bb to A. However, top of the range instruments (such as the Bach ADE190 above) also have interchangeable bells which make them more in tune with themselves (by increasing the length of the instrument in more places).
On Bb/A piccolos a 4th valve is the norm - This allows for an extended low range and alternative fingerings.
