The Thein MH One trumpets were developed in collaboration with world-renowned  trumpet player Matthias Höfs. They provide a stable, warm sound for any trumpet player concentrating on classical playing, and like all Thein brass instruments, they are highly customizable. 

------------------------------------------------------

The MH One is one of Thein's newest projects. They set out to make the standard trumpet, which every trumpet player plays, more flexible. The MH One is applicable universally and excels in a multitude of different ensembles. The philosophy behind the development of the MH One was the greatest possible flexibility and the highest tonal variation possibilities. With solid intonation and tonal separation in all registers, the MH One has exchangeable leadpipes and bell variations which allow for personalization at the highest level.

See Brochure #1 and Brochure #2 for further details.

Playing Characteristics

The MH One is one of our most popular models. We wanted to optimize the standard trumpet played by every trumpeter and make it more flexible. It should be suitable for any area like an orchestra, as lead trumpet, etc. Very good intonation and tone separation in all pitches. Exchangeable mouthpipes and bell versions allow an individualisation at the highest level.

Thanks to the various bell and lead pipe variations, the instrument is incredibly versatile and can be customized. The philosophy behind the development of the MH One was the greatest possible flexibility, variety of sounds, extremely fast response and possible variations.

Matthias Höfs: “We benefited from the experience we gained in the development of earlier models. And I’m very happy that it has become such a versatile instrument.“

Similar to a French bead bell, the Mainzer rim is formed using a brass/nickel silver half-wire (semicircular cross-section) that is beaded and soldered at the bell end and cut flush.
