At Houghton Horns, we believe every player deserves a horn that inspires them.
During this Spring Break season, we’re highlighting some fantastic trumpets for around two grand, including new musts, demo deals, and pre-owned gems. If you’ve been searching for quality without breaking the bank, or a C trumpet for college, this lineup is ready to play.
🌟 New Musts from Stomvi:
The Stomvi Forte Series efficiently produces a pure resonant tone while providing the player excellent control, intonation, and even response throughout all registers. The improved characteristics allow the player to work less, last longer, and increase their performance experience. From Bach to Bop, the Forte is a fantastic choice.
Pro performance without the Pro price tag. The Stomvi Forte Bb Trumpet offers a full tone with excellent range and response, and a smooth and efficient feel. Great for:
- Band and Orchestra
