Carol Brass Balanced Recording Model CTR-8060H-GLS-SL

Product Overview: Vintage Inspiration, Modern Reliability

The Carol Brass Balanced Recording Model is a true revelation for trumpet players who love the history and vibe of vintage instruments (like the Selmer Balanced) but refuse to compromise on modern performance, flawless intonation, and reliable valve action.

The core design of the CTR-8060H-GLS-SL features a valve set shifted forward toward the bell. This unique design ensures the instrument balances perfectly in your hand, eliminating the common tendency for the trumpet to tilt forward. It feels incredibly natural to play, improving your posture and comfort.

Expect a rich, full, and thick sound with a beautiful sparkle in the upper register. This horn easily handles both a deep C-cup and a shallower lead mouthpiece, making it surprisingly versatile while prioritizing a gorgeous, full tone.
