Manufacturer: J. Landress Brass
This 2004 custom C trumpet by Josh Landress Brass showcases his early experimentation with innovative design concepts, blending unique engineering choices with high-quality craftsmanship. The standout feature is the free-floating leadpipe, a reverse design soldered only at the receiver and protected by a full-length over-sleeve, allowing it to vibrate freely for improved response, articulation, and intonation. The trumpet also incorporates hex bracing for potential resonance and structural benefits, an angled slide cut that may influence airflow, and a custom bell taper that could shape its tonal character. Built on a precision Baurfeind valve block with nickel balusters and a bronze lower half, the horn balances durability with smooth valve action. As an early example of Landress’s work, this instrument represents a fascinating intersection of creativity and functionality, offering a one-of-a-kind playing experience for professionals seeking a distinct sound and response. Its rarity and experimental nature make it both a collector’s piece and a testament to Landress’s evolving craftsmanship in custom brass instrument design.
