The CarolBrass CTR-5000L-YLT-Bb-SL Vocabell Trumpet features an all-brass light-weight body with reversed leadpipe and large, light weight yellow brass bell. “Vocabell” refers to an unwired bell rim (often called rimless) which was used on some Conn trumpets in the 1930s and ’40s – see below for more information.. Supplied with two tuning slides (rounded and square) for extra versatility this is a bright easy playing trumpet which due to the light weight bell is best suited to bigband\/lead-type playing.<\/p>\n
Model:<\/strong> CTR-5000L-YLT Backpack case More about the Vocabell:<\/strong><\/p>\n Designed and used by C.G. Conn. It was originally designed to increase the instrument\u2019s volume, per Conn\u2019s description in a 1933 edition of the Conn Loyalist:<\/em><\/p>\n The most popular trumpet on the market. Used by such first chair stars as Lebert Lombardo (Guy Lombardo), Jack Cavan (Charlie Agnew), Lamar Wright (Cab Calloway), Charlie Williams (Duke Ellington), David Glickstein (Broadway shows) and Eddie Camden (Don Bestor). The Vocabell rim is a single, integral piece of metal which allows it to vibrate freely. Conventional bells have a rigid wire in the rim which tends to muffle the tone and dampen out the delicate harmonics that are so essential to clear tone and rich coloring. Delicate instruments of Columbia Broadcasting Studio in New York show the Vocabell has from 12 to 15 decibels greater volume, is smoother and more even in scale, and is clearer and purer in tone than trumpets with the conventional type bells.<\/em><\/p>\n
