Blackburn L1 B♭ Trumpet
The Blackburn L1 is our large-bore B♭ trumpet for players who naturally gravitate toward an open feel and a full, warm sound. Its #19-348 leadpipe and 213A24S bell form a pairing designed around breadth, projection, and responsive intonation.
Consider the L1 if an open large-bore response is central to the way you play. The complete leadpipe-and-bell combination matters as much as the bore designation: try it with your usual mouthpiece and compare how comfortably it supports your sound, articulation, and airflow.
Handcrafted in Lexington, Kentucky, the L1 brings Blackburn’s approach to instrument building to a focused large-bore design.
