Taylor Vulcan Custom Trumpet

Description

Taylor Vulcan Custom Trumpet

As the name implies the Taylor Vulcan Custom Trumpet is a custom made trumpet from the Taylor worshop in Norwich in the UK. It is unusual in design most notably for the square bell which makes it different from the default design of most trumpets of today. Vulcan is the Roman god of fire, volcanoes, and smithing, often depicted with a blacksmith’s hammer.

Taylor instruments are handmade and each one is individual.

Taylor Trumpets are handmade in Norwich, UK by Andy Taylor and his small team. Having trained at Paxmans French Horns, Andy set up his own business making bells for other manufacturers of brass instruments and has been making his own trumpets since 1989.

Known as a master bell maker, Andy Taylor has also introduced one-piece machined leadpipes and is always keen to innovate. With a flair for the aesthetic side of trumpet design, Taylors are often seen with all sorts of funky designs.
