Natural Trumpets

Natural trumpets were originally used as military instruments for acoustic signals, but had their place in the orchestra even into the early romantic period. This pack contains recordings of three different natural trumpets. The instruments were recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offer all typical articulations.

The valveless instruments are characterized by their long tubing compared to modern trumpets. They can only produce notes of the natural harmonic series, from the 3rd to the 16th, of the corresponding key, but impure harmonics and even chromatic notes can be achieved with advanced “lipping” techniques (i.e., flattening or sharpening the tuning with changes in embouchure).
