The Chuck Findley Bb trumpet is the signature model of the American sesssion musician (trumpeter, but also flugelhorn and trombone player) already named in the title, known for his collaborations with countless famous musicians (B.B. King, Toto, Miles Davis, Steely Dan, Al Jarreau and others). He himself has said of the trumpet, "My signature model VanLaar trumpet offers the perfect amount of resistance I need for big band playing, but also the warmth necessary for gigging with smaller groups and soloing when the offer of a movie comes along." The foundation of the instrument's superior sound is a one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass soundboard. The instrument is adorned with a brushed gold-plated brass finish.
