Warburton trumpets

Hi everyone! So, I'm on the list for a lacquer 132 ML trumpet. Anyone have any reviews about the Warburton horns? What kind of configurations do you have? I've been using Warburton mouthpieces for years and can't wait to try out their horns!

I had a Warburton 335-ML, which was nice for all-around playing. Terry's horns are well made. The fit and finish on mine were excellent. He uses the Hoxxon Gakki (CarolBrass) valve block, I believe, which worked fine. I didn't notice that the "slot receiver" made much difference, but it certainly didn't seem to do any harm.

My 335-ML setup is a lot different than the one you ordered, so I can't offer much else in terms of useful information, other than to add that Terry's horns are unfortunately not well known, which hurts resale. I put mine up for sale a little over a month after I received it -- I inherited several horns from a decreased relative and thus no longer needed the Warburton. It took over six months to sell at about half the price I paid.

I hope that you enjoy your new horn!

Got my Warburton 132ML trumpet this past weekend and used it for the opening weekend of the musical 9 to 5. It's an amazing horn! I was once told that if I ever found a horn that has a double A on it to keep it...I've struck gold! I'm able to not only get out a double A, but also the B as well. These 2 notes have always given me grief, but not anymore. Can't wait to try this horn out with my big band this week and see how my fellow trumpet players like my new horn!

I have a Warburton Flugel (serial number 13) in a brushed lacquer and absolutely LOVE it. Feels huge in sound and bore compared to other flugels I've played (Yamaha, Bach, etc..) The Warburton 4FLX mouthpiece I had with it was a little too deep for my taste (and love of doodling in the upper register) so I am currently waiting for a medium deep piece from Trent Austin at Austin Custom Brass, as their pieces are slightly less expensive and I use them on my Bb and C trumpets already.
I got a chance to try out their trumpets at a couple different conventions and clinics. I don't remember numbers at all, but every horn Terry and Kim had me try seemed to do exactly what they said it was designed to do and had a great sound. They seem to have more and more artists playing their stuff every day.

I have a 434 ML in silver as does the lead player in my high school jazz band. I took the band to a jazz festival in St. Louis. Terry and Kim were there with a display. My lead player went into the room and tried out some horns. She came up to me and told me about the horn she had just played that made her double G's so much easier to hit. She was talking about slotting without knowing the terminology. I went in to listen to her and she was right. I jokingly told her to text her mom to tell her she needed a new trumpet right then. She already owed a pro-Yamaha. Her mom amazingly okayed it and she bought it in less than an hour and played it on the gig that day. After I played around on it the following week, I ordered mine. The horn envy was bad until I got mine. I played an 8310Z prior to the purchase of my Warburton. The 434 configuration, in my opinion, plays very similarly to the Shew horn, but is more open and resonant. I can't speak highly enough of my Warburton. A custom horn for less than $2500 is just a price you can't beat.

[quote]Hi islandtrumpeter...I was wondering if you knew what the difference is with the bigger ferrules on the horn?[quote]

I do not, but I would definitely ask Terry!
