Geneva offer custom excellence

If you want to have the very best then Geneva Musical Instruments can custom your instrument to meet your playing aspirations.

Trumpet
 

Since 2001 Geneva Instruments has been working with some of the world’s leading brass players to push the boundaries of brass instrument engineering.

As a result we believe we have produced some of the finest custom built brass musical instruments made to the specific requirements of the individual player.

Skill and expertise

The Geneva Instruments team has the skill and experience to design and build an instrument that best suits a player’s needs and aspirations.

Following a consultation with a Geneva designer you could have your instrument built and completed with elegant hand engraving and luxury instrument finishes.

Custom built

Geneva custom made instruments truly are custom built — made to the very specific requirements of the customer.

We believe that unlike some other branded ‘Custom’ instruments, Geneva provides state of the art instruments tailored made for personal playing requirements — and not extravagantly decorated lower-grade products.

Own instrument

British Jazz Trumpet Player of the Year, Steve Waterman has been a Geneva Artist for over 10 years with his own customised trumpet and flugel horn.

He told 4BR: “I spent a full day at the Geneva Instruments workshop in North Yorkshire with their head designer and learned so much about trumpets.

Previously I’d just picked up a trumpet and played it. I was asked what I liked about the trumpet I was playing and how it could be improved; taking it to bits, trying different valves, different tubes and pipes.

Geneva Instruments believe in customising to meet individual needs: Brass players can go to them and try various parts and put together an instrument that suits them.”
