Schlub TARV (Top Action Rotary Valve) Bb trumpet

Schlub TARV (Top Action Rotary Valve) B flat trumpet

This is a TARV model trumpet made by custom trumpet maker George Schlub.  This trumpet was made in 2011 (as evidenced by the engraving in th elast photo) and was made when Schlub was located in Singapore.  He has since moved his operation to Ohio.  These currently sell for $4,000 new and have a long wait time for a custom build.

This is a hand built instrument with an easy blow with great pitch and easy articulations.  The rotors are fast and quiet and everything moves great.  It has a reversed tuning slide, a  joy key on the first valve slide, Saturn water keys,  and red stone finger buttons.  

 Comes with a leather soft case and a torpedo bag which is a perfect fit.
