Frequently Asked Questions
The PMH-L generally has a darker, more focused tone than the Bach 36B, which is known for its brighter, more open sound. It's a matter of preference, but the B&S leans towards a more European voicing.
While it’s lighter than some, B&S maintains a good balance; it shouldn't be a significant endurance issue, but heavier players may notice a slight difference compared to more substantial instruments.
The 'MH' leadpipe, designed by Martin Hutter, is a key element in shaping the trumpet's characteristic tone – contributing to the focused projection and darker timbre.
