Artistic guidance was provided during the design stage by John
Hagstrom of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. We focused on
achieving the ideal blowing resistance and weight balance, and we
re-thought every part of the new Chicago trumpet. We've created
an instrument that is not simply easy to sound, but also provides
delicate response when playing pp and powerful presence when
playing ff. Every component of the instrument contains the input
of artists from around the world, allowing us to create a highly
evolved Chicago trumpet.
