Features: Supplied with two bells, sparkly/bright and warm/mellow; custom red brass leadpipe. Uses a standard trumpet mouthpiece, though Spencer recommends a large backbore (Warburton 11 shank). Spencer's published price is GBP 1,750. Will Spencer builds and voices each instrument himself at his Bordon workshop, testing and optimising it through construction and inviting the customer in to fine-tune tuning, tone, response and comfort before completion. Spencer uses only red brass for leadpipes and slides to avoid the dezincification (red-rot) he has spent years repairing on other makers' horns. Prices are Spencer's published GBP figures converted at GBP x 1.27. Leadpipes are named by material and pattern rather than standard/reversed, so the §A leadpipe field is blank.
