Handmade in Germany by the Thein master craftsmen, this C trumpet is specially created for professional use and customization. Featuring a changeable bell or leadpipe system for various playing applications, at home on the concert stage or recording sound room. Similar to a French bead bell, the Mainzer rim is formed using a brass/nickel silver half-wire (semicircular cross-section) that is beaded and soldered at the bell end and cut flush. This adds a good pithiness or clarity to the sound.

Playing Characteristics

The MH-One is one of the most popular Thein trumpet models. We wanted to optimize the standard trumpet played by every trumpeter and make it more flexible, with increased projection and resonance from its modular construction. It should be suitable for any area like an orchestra, and with very good intonation and tone separation in all pitches. The philosophy behind the development of the MH One was the greatest possible flexibility, variety of sounds, extremely fast response and possible variations.

Matthias Höfs: “We benefited from the experience we gained in the development of earlier models. And I’m very happy that it has become such a versatile instrument.“
