The fullness of sound and projection from the Sonaré trumpet owe a debt to the one-piece bell made by Sonaré’s German partner. Each bell is hand-hammered into shape. All Sonaré trumpets are tested before they leave the factory in Germany. Upon arrival in the USA they are tested again by an experienced Blackburn-trained technician to ensure that they meet Sonaré’s strict quality standards.

Cryogenic treatment is an after-market service often sought by professional players - at a cost of more than one hundred dollars! The deep-freeze treatment relieves stress in the metal that normally occurs during the making of a trumpet. The benefits of cryogenics for the player are a broader spectrum of colors and enhanced response, especially in the high register. Only Sonaré offers cryogenic treatment as standard on every trumpet.
