A Rare Advantage: Berliner Pistons
This horn is built with Berliner Pistons—a feature almost unheard of in modern trumpets. Unlike Perinet valves (where tubing jogs around the valves), Berliner Pistons keep the tubing in a perfectly straight line.
Why does this matter? When no valves—or all the valves—are depressed, the air flows straight through with no deflection. That means a freer-blowing, more responsive horn with a truly open feel.
Most flugelhorns today use Perinet valves. The fact that this trumpet features the superior Berliner Pistons makes it stand out in its class.
