4 Del Quadro trumpet assembled and ready for leadpipe matching. 2 grande campanas and 2 Cs. Both of the Cs are reverse tuning. I don't build a ton of C trumpets, so it's always curious to see two in a row on the schedule.

It takes a lot of work to get up to this point. I always tell people it's a horn every 8 days but it's more like 4 horns a month. The summer is always tougher. It's so dang hot.. vacation soon, but tons to do before then.

Hand built right here in Las Vegas on all American made parts. Still the most affordable hand built American instruments (for real in the United States) on the market!

Del Quadro trumpet #367

This one is a custom horn for a customer who came out to play test last summer. It is an il Capo bell with my G leadpipe. First time I've had the opportunity to put this combination together. GREAT combination! This one features a gold lacquer and Compositos button inlays. These usually look very blue but I think against the gold it's given them a slightly greener hue.

In the melee of the past few days.. and spending most of yesterday anxiously watching an airtag travel across the country, I believe I forgot to even send these pictures to the new owner before I shipped the horn. There were some hangups getting the horn past the finish line, so we went ahead and overnighted it as a courtesy.

Yes... I still used ups to ship. Someone just drove my package across the country non-stop for almost 30hours from UPS, they may have messed up the shipment and there has been a lot of confusion, but the way they seem to be making up for it as a company... I'll keep using them.
