The Generation II C RL is a new direction for Edwards.  The Edwards Reverse Leadpipe is not a traditional reverse leadpipe setup nor does it try to be. Departing from the traditional length leadpipes did a couple of things for the RL series. The gap between the main tuning slide and leadpipe was diminished allowing the instrument to become much more efficient in blow. With the leadpipe entering the main tuning slide the total air transitions have been diminished. No longer does the air have to step into a ferrule, step into a tuning slide, and step into the tuning slide. Now the air steps into the tuning slide from the leadpipe getting rid of turbulence points that cause interference with the air column.

Does your current instrument back up on you, or is it too open blowing? If it is too open you will have to provide the compression at the chops causing premature fatigue. If the horn is backing up on you then there can be physical discomfort in the neck and make it impossible to blow through the instrument comfortably. By matching the instrument to you we can find the correct amount of compression that "you" need. This is why we offer the leadpipes that we do. It is not to change daily for gigs, but to find the correct compression to your physical make up.

The Gen II RL series is for the player wanting a more traditional blowing instrument. With the standard shaped tuning slides (semi square, square and round) this instrument is like a traditional trumpet on steroids.   Find the instrument you want.
