Edwards Trumpets
For
decades, trumpet players in search of the perfect instrument have been
at the mercy of large manufacturers. The prevailing wisdom of these
companies has been to build instruments for the masses and hope these
instruments meet the needs of their customers – all of their customers.
This philosophy is flawed; musicians have different needs that require
a more specialized approach. Edwards has made a conscious decision
to approach trumpet manufacturing in a different way. Our philosophy
is simple – let the customer choose.
The Edwards Trumpet offers many
innovations that make it the premier instrument for the discerning
musician. The leadpipe retaining tube allows players to audition and
compare leadpipes with ease. Instead of using heat, solder, and stress
to trade out components, switching leadpipes is done by simply sliding
the leadpipe into the leadpipe retaining tube.
Furthermore, Edwards uses a cross bracing system that allows our bells
to be mounted to the leadpipe retaining tube without any stress. Stress
can destroy even the finest of instruments; therefore, our stress-free
designs set the benchmark for all other manufacturers. When you couple
that fact with the many bell choices we provide, the Edwards Trumpet
is the obvious choice.
Edwards works hard to make each trumpet it sells the perfect fit for the customer. By striking a balance between sound and feel, you can be sure that an Edwards Instrument will help you achieve your goals.
Since opening our doors in 1989, innovation has driven the Edwards Instrument Company. We are setting the new standard in trumpet manufacturing by offering the professional musician a truly individual, personal instrument, incorporating the perfect balance between state-of-the-art precision manufacturing techniques and hand craftsmanship.

In Their Own Words
"Since getting my first Edwards Trumpets in 2007, I have had more fun than ever before as a performer and teacher playing these great horns. These instruments combine great sound potential with the ease of playing we are all looking for- and the quality of the workmanship is beyond superb. The final key to the puzzle are the people working at Edwards whom are just great to work with and continue to put out the best quality products available today for professionals and students alike."
