What is BSC Sound Styler actually?

You can use a screw to vary the musical properties of the entire instrument to adapt to the sound of different music styles.

Can't you believe that something like this is possible?
Then you just have to try it out!
What´s new?

Innovation 1
Once upon a time, talents for certain styles often played special trumpets with unique mouthpieces. As next, through the development of playing techniques and lessons, a new generation mastered all styles. They take several trumpets and mouthpieces on stage. BSC Sound Styler can increase the variability of a single trumpet. You don't need so many trumpets anymore.

Innovation 2
 Once upon a time, a trumpet player could only change mouthpieces or the entire instrument if they were not satisfied with the equipment, without a system and with great risk. With BSC Sound Styler, you can apply individual features in a “measured” way with a system and without risk. This way you can quickly test the sound during rehearsals with a band and easily undo any changes yourself.

Innovation 3
Once upon a time, students and children were given just one trumpet and that was it! A young person soon discovers a favorite style of music, but has to continue learning on the wrong trumpet with inferior sound. Most of them cannot afford expensive special trumpets. Yes, on BSC Trumpet with Sound Styler you can easily and inexpensively achieve a trumpet sound that suits your style of music.
 
 
Can't you still believe it?
Then you just have to try it out yourselves. Many trumpet players have already started!

After frequent requests from dealers, I will try to explain the acoustic properties of individual BSC Sound Stylers from my point of view as a designer. I have designed over 200 models and selected the best ones based on the style of music. I have linked some examples to web videos where you can listen the original. Take your time to listen to the whole piece, it's worth it! If you discover new ideas there, I would be very happy.

 Please feel free to analyze it yourself.   
 
  
  
N°1 "Little Head"

makes the starting of the notes more efficient and precise. Especially with fast notes or large intervals, notes hit reliably, sound bodies and ends become more perfect. A traditionally bad example would be the last variation in "Carnival of Venice": the low notes that form the melody line usually break apart unmusically "bra-bra". It is not due to the player but because most trumpets cannot resonate air vibration so quickly due to faulty construction.
   
With N°1 "Little Head" "sizzling" is created at high volume, a metallic vibration traditionally known as typical character of trumpets.
  
* BSC Sound Styler N°1 "Little Head" is supplied as a pair with BSC trumpet.
** Some Sound Stylers block resonance on rear brace. N°1 works excellently on front brace and real brace.
N°2 "Lenses"

is designed for classical and wind orchestras. This enriches overtones and brilliance. The response becomes more direct and feels rounder. You can also break off the beginning of the note sharply like an old natural trumpet in orchestral compositions. You can hear brilliance like US movie soundtruck.
N°2 is designed for the most commonly used trumpet music, and we have chosen it for our stop screw.
 
 
N°3 „Vienna“

produces voluminous and harmonious sound like the old Viennese sound. The sound is round and large, but still remains elegant and present. With 3 trumpets in a section, they can sound like one instrument and additional overtones are created. On the contrary, with a strong attack in a fanfare motif, the sound can shine very brilliantly like a natural trumpet. Wide contrast enriches the orchestral sound.
  
In addition, some “lead” trumpeters found that N°3 Vienna gives more precision and security at extreme high notes.
 
  
N°4 "Pin"

concentrates sound compactly and intensely. For example, TR2B "Big Horn" originally has a beautiful, big sound like a singer, but at the same time the "beauty" can be problematic for applications where "dirty" is desired. With N°4 "Pin" you can break up sounds in a "dirty" way. The range of expression is greatly expanded on a single trumpet.

Don't misunderstand! "Dirty" in music means unwashed, honest, unadulterated cry from the heart, from which art lives and makes the moment unforgettable and valuable.
"Playing a wrong note is meaningless; playing without passion is inexcusable."
Ludwig van Beethoven 
  
 
N°5 "Squer"

amplifies traditional jazz sounds like Miles Davis or Clifford Brown. It dampens metallic noise and increases the warmth of the sound center to speak. European horn-like, voluminous sound form is avoided and concentrated like a beam, typical of cool jazz or bebop. Linear sound is less harmonious with other instruments, but the artist's message is better transmitted and carried further into the room. Microphone can record the linear sound better.
   
   
N°6 "Hexagon"

allows air to flow better and increases dynamics. The sound shape remains linearly stable (like tenor sax). With a trained technique, you can create a powerful sound for hot jazz or like old master Lee Morgan. Classical grandmaster Timofey Dokshizer has a similarly centered sound in the near and far that sounds just as intense.
