The initial design idea behind the Grizzly was to design a trumpet that gave the player a little bit more to lean on than the Personal model. The bell design of the Personal makes it feel much larger (to many players) than it’s actual ML bore. I started with measurements of lots of my favorite trumpets and kept coming back to many of the old Benge designs.. some of my favorite. I always loved the CG Benge, but when I would played on them, in the end they always felt just a little too big for me. I always loved the feel and of course the undeniable Benge sound of the instruments. I wondered how it would feel if I made a similar design in a medium large bore with one of my signature copper bells and a similar unique bell tail design that the CG Benge had…. and we end up with the Del Quadro Grizzly.
The Grizzly features:
Like with all of my other instruments, any plated or lacquer finish would be available on this model.
All of our copper bell trumpets are fit with an Electroform solid SEAMLESS copper bell. I personally love the design and sound characteristics of these bells. Brass bells are available upon request, but at this time are only available on the Proseus as a standard option. The copper bells are designed in a “Blank” for me. I pull the bore to the proper size, bend the bow, and add the bell bead in my shop in Las Vegas, Nv.
Some time ago, we used pistons from a Taiwanese factory that provides pistons to a lot of small and large builders around the world. Today ALL of our pistons are designed by the Getzen/Edwards company. These pistons are insured to fit properly, work properly, and have a lasting performance. These pistons cost us a little more money… and we didn’t even raise the prices. That’s how important it is to Del Quadro Custom trumpets to produce the highest quality, 100% American made products.
The mouthpipe, tuning slide, and many other small parts for the instrument are of our own design. ALL assembly and finishing work is done in house by Michael Del Quadro. Plating and lacquer is done outside of the shop, but all polishing and preparation for plating and lacquer is done in house.
