The renowned professional brass musician Ben Godfrey is the latest international artist to choose to perform on Geneva Trumpets.
Ben has selected Geneva's 'Symphony' Bb trumpet and 'Joshol' Bb trumpet — a decision that compliments his playing on the leading manufacturer's 'Symphony' cornet.
Exciting sounds
The former Central Band of the RAF player enjoys an outstanding reputation in both brass banding and professional trumpet genres, and told 4BR: "The Geneva 'Symphony' and 'Joshol' trumpets are providing me with new, exciting ranges in sound, colour and projection that I feel are taking me to new levels of performance.
It's for this reason that I choose to play Geneva over other manufacturers."
Fantastic instrument
He added: "The 'Symphony' trumpet is a fantastic instrument in a symphony orchestra, chamber or solo setting. It impresses with its breadth of sound and warm, lyrically timbre, whilst still being able to deliver large volumes of sound and projection which are required in symphony orchestra playing.
Equally impressive is the 'Joshol' trumpet' — designed to meet the demanding needs of the lead trumpet specialist. It delivers an incredibly focused sound with a scintillating high register that enhances the range of any player.
It's the No.1 choice for me when I am called upon to play in such settings."
