Blackburn Jericho Bb Trumpet: Warmth, Power, and Effortless Versatility

From the intimacy of a jazz ensemble to the demands of a Broadway pit, the Blackburn Jericho was designed to give professional players the freedom to shape their sound without sacrificing control. Cliff Blackburn conceived the Jericho with the versatile show player in mind: an instrument with a rich, warm voice that can turn brilliant and commanding the moment the music calls for it.

At its heart is a 0.024" Ambronze bell with a broad, rapid flare. Paired with Blackburn's distinctive reverse leadpipe design, it delivers a remarkably open feel while retaining the efficiency, focus, and stability needed across the full range of the trumpet. Play lyrically and the Jericho rewards you with warmth and depth; lean into it and the sound comes alive with power and presence.

Two tuning slide designs offer another way to tailor the response. The standard slide preserves the Jericho's characteristic open feel, while the optional high-efficiency slide produces a more traditional medium-large-bore playing sensation.

Handcrafted in Lexington, Kentucky, the Jericho brings together Cliff Blackburn's imaginative acoustical design and the precision of American instrument making.

Looking for a quicker, livelier response? Explore the Jericho Lite with its thinner 0.020" Ambronze bell.
