I have not played or heard the Marcinkiewicz Rembrandt, but I did check it out on their website. I'm sure it's a pretty cool horn as well. Looks like a pretty similar concept. I know Rick Braun plays one. He talks a bit about it on this YouTube vid.

Is this the horn that Theo Croker is playing on that stuff with DeeDee Bridgewater? Nice dark sound.

I think he's playing the Marcinkiewicz Rembrandt, based on the few YouTube videos I've seen. Not positive, but it's definitely not an Adams.

I've read that the Adams A4's Shepard's crook makes the tone more mellow, in a classical setting would this horn still be able to work out?

Smooth bends tend to reduce or delay the onset of "ringing" when a player ups the dynamics. They can also make slotting less definite. That's why most of the time you see orchestral players choosing trumpets with square bend tuning slides and perhaps even a squarish bell bend, too. Double braced tuning slides are also a common design choice for trumpets headed to the concert hall.

The A4 is in the same class as a Wild Thing and one or two other designs. They are generally designed for the solo player, but are versatile enough for a good player to use in most any musical situation. That player will simply have to work a little more, in certain aspects, to get the desired results in an orchestra setting.

There is one reason that I practice: to be ready at the downbeat when the final trumpet sounds.
