Blessing Trumpets – General Information
Blessing has been making quality trumpets for over 100 years. What do Blessing Student Level Trumpets Offer the Beginning Trumpet Player?
• Crisp Smooth Valve Action and well built valve casings with well controlled tolerances. Better than Yamaha, Holton, King, Bach TR500, and Bach TR600 and about the same as a Bach TR300. Today the student trumpets made in the USA develop fewer valve problems than those imported.
• Sturdier Bracing. A common problem with beginning and marching band students is that the trumpet is often stressed greater than that experienced by the professional trumpet player. As a result, student band members often experience loose or broken braces that hold the mouthpipe and/or bell assembly. In 2002. Blessing addressed this problem and went to sturdier braces so this is not a problem on Blessing Trumpets made after 2002.
• Good Tone and Intonation. Tone and Intonation improve with practice and experience; however, it is important that a beginner start on an instrument that will allow him/her to develop rapidly and not be held back by a trumpet that requires more than normal effort to obtain good tone and correct intonation. Students playing poor quality imported trumpets are often discourage because it takes more than normal effort to play them correctly.
• Better Looking Trumpet. The Blessing Trumpets B125, B126, B127 are all very attractive brass trumpets trimmed with german silver (silver brass). Although this makes the trumpet very pretty, it also has a practical purpose as tuning slides tend to stick less when dissimilar metals are used.
• Easy To Repair. Blessing trumpets are made of quality brass and are easy to repair. Solder repairs are easier to make on quality brass and dents can be removed without leaving marks. Parts are readily available from the Blessing plant in Elkhart Indiana.
• More Quality for the Price. Blessing Trumpets remain reasonably priced and hold their value so you often get a better trumpet at a lower cost.
The following is from the Blessing Brochure:
At Blessing, we continue to make improvements to our trumpet line. 2002 saw a variety of structural changes, including sturdier braces, new red brass mouthpipes, redesigned receivers, upgraded third slide finger ring holders and screws, and new look slide pull knobs. 2003 focused more on pistons and valve casings. To say this department has been restructured would be an understatement. CNC lathes now turn out trumpet, cornet, and fiuegelhom pistons and valves according to the most exacting specifications and tolerances. Top and bottom valve caps sport a new look, and now feature a thread design that allows for easy on and off application. Confidence comes from a great piston and valve assembly, and we’re brimming with it!
Today at Blessing we are employing 100 craftsmen, who take a great deal of pride in the products that they manufacture. In fact, our workforce is really one big corporate family. Blessing workers are producing in three manufacturing buildings on West Beardsley Avenue, on Elkhart’s northwest side.
