Rose Brass – Blessing

Historically, the Model 1541 Flugelhorn has perennially been a Blessing best seller. It is ideal for both the student and the professional musician. In performance, a player will experience a smooth feel, transitioning between trumpet and flugelhorn without compromising the characteristic warm and mellow ‘flugel’ sound. Offering professional features that include an adjustable 3rd valve slide trigger, the Blessing BFH1541RT is an upgrade in playability at a fraction of the cost.

1The standard bearer in the line, the BTR1460S is a fantastic trumpet for any level of player from the motivated advanced student to the professional musician. It features a yellow brass bell and silverplated finish that provides a colorful sound that is rich in harmonics. Designed with a traditional standard lead pipe set up, the BTR1460S provides the resistance critical to controlling your sound and performing in all registers with reliable intonation and even sound.

Well balanced with a tight sound core and the flexibility to manipulate sound color, the BTR1460S is accessible, offering both the playability and value comparable to a professional model trumpet. The BTR1460S outfit includes a stylish lightweight back-pack to case that offers excellent protection and ease in mobility. Dependable and reliable, the BTR1460S is designed to inspire confidence and musical development.

The BBH1287 is a great fit for a first-time student. Beginning band programs benefit from using ‘British bore’ baritones for the simple reason that they are easier to play and more manageable in every way for a young player. It is easy to play because it’s ergonomic and more responsive due to the smaller bore and bell. Additionally, its lighter weight is much easier for a child to manage as they transport back and forth.

Rich in the low and mid ranges, the Blessing BFH1287 Single F horn features a classic, natural horn sound. Single horns are used for beginning students and usually rented. Because there is less tubing than a double horn, a single horn weighs considerably less and is much easier for a child to manage. Ideal for a first-time student who is beginning French horn, the Blessing BFH1287 is both economical and easy to play.

Countless band programs now start students on a double horn because it affords players greater accuracy and improved stability in the upper register. Designed for the beginning student, the BFH1297 is responsive with excellent intonation and versatility in tonal color, which is critical for the developing hornist. The Geyer Wrap provides a freer blowing instrument which allows for a bigger sound. In the Blessing tradition, the BFH1297 offers maximum playability at an affordable price.

A good Mellophone section is the heart of any great marching ensemble sound. The Blessing BM111 provides the classic, gorgeous horn voicing with more depth and projection power. It is sturdy enough for any marching situation. Bell forward, the sound is focused and designed to project off the field and into the stands.

Clear Lacquer Finish. A finish preference is dictated by the demands of a marching band, uniformity, or personal taste. Lacquer is a clear epoxy coating applied to protect the natural shiny finish of polished brass. The tone is warm, clear, and focused. It is less expensive and easier to maintain.

Silver Plate Finish. Silver plating is a richer looking finish. Because it is thinner compared to a lacquer finish, the sound is more responsive and resonant with added brilliance and better overall projection. It is considered more durable but does require extra maintenance.

The BM311 is a forward bell baritone with a huge, resonant sound. It is designed with a large shank mouthpiece and large bore allowing for greater blowing freedom to facilitate the volume demands of outdoor playing. The compact wrap design affords a balanced, focused sound making the BM311 an excellent choice for any marching band in a parade or on the field.
