Looking for trumpet in low F

barliman2001

Seems that in the coming years, I will be doing lots of Brahms (and contemporaries) on 2nd trumpet... at least eight times per year, with suitable rehearsal periods, in quite a few very interesting locations; now many of those original 2nd trumpet parts were written for trumpet in F, and I really don't like the idea of playing them with a modern instrument - especially as I don't like transposing, and in many cases there are no transposed Bb parts avalaible.
Does anone here know of a viable - playable! - F trumpet that might become available in the very near future? First gig would be in October...

Several years ago I purchased a Amati Eb piston valve trumpet from ebay seller g.mu6 and cut it down to F, I have only played it once in Orchestra, no complaints.

I see he has a couple of rotary valve F trumpets for sale.

Regards, Stuart.

@administrator Thanks; but a frumpet has the wrong sound for what I need to play.

@barliman2001
I expect this will possibly not be good either, but for what it’s worth, here is my two cents.
I have played a marching French horn when needed. It has a very horn like sound ( duh). Anyway, I can share a recording where I was playing that part. The advantage for me, at least, was that a trumpet mp can be used interchangeably and the fingerings are exactly like trumpet. It reads the French horn part as well.

Elmar, here is the recording if you feel like listening to it. https://soundcloud.com/bigdub-3/07-christmas-day-in-the?si=85561cd1af7440b98a25acaf3c4a8893&utm
