Taylor Phat Freddie Trumpet

The Taylor Phat Freddie Trumpet is Andy Taylor’s version of a Flumpet, which is a mix of a trumpet & a flugel. It has a trumpet mouthpiece receiver so can be played with a standard trumpet mouthpiece or a large/trumpet shank flugel mouthpiece (Taylor mouthpiece included). Mouthpiece choice makes a big difference – with a trumpet mouthpiece it plays like a big/fat/full sounding trumpet with a surprising amount of sizzle at the top end when pushed; with a flugelhorn-style mouthpiece it plays very much like a flugel but without the usual intonation issues below the stave and a much more secure high range than most true flugels.

Features:

  • Clear lacquer body with satin lacquer bell (clear on inside)
  • Trumpet mouthpiece receiver
  • Stainless steel valves
  • 1st & 3rd valve slide stoppers
  • Amado water keys
  • Heavy valve caps
  • Fat finger rings
  • Taylor mouthpiece included
  • Please note case not included

Taylor instruments are handmade and their appearance may vary from the images shown here.

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.

Best known amongst jazz players, the Taylor trumpet range now includes instruments suitable for all genres. Taylor also make flugels, the occasional cornet and other more unusual horns by request.
