Divitt trumpets

Anyone tried Divitt trumpets, by Canadian maker, Ewan Divitt? There are a couple of reviews of his practice mutes, which are apparently very good, but the last thread about trumpets was from 2017, when he was getting started.

Haven't seen too many newer vids of them, but I stumbled on this Fabrizio Bosso vid a few weeks ago and it definitely looks like a Divitt. I know he usually plays a G&P Flora, but I really dig his sound here.

No idea about his horns, but he did make me some finger button inlays recently and they came out flawless.

His horns look interesting though.

Ha, my finger buttons are in the planning. Nice to hear that yours came out nice.

Yeah, they’re nice. I have been looking at the Fordite buttons - as a materials scientist with a background in mineralogy I appreciate the irony in the name

Also I like the strong colors.

You got me thinking though, opals are also quite interesting from a materials and mineralogy standpoint and have nice colors. Arghhh …

I was at Ewan’s shop today to order a Divitt Trumpet for myself.

Ewan has a few models now and all of them play great. I could have chosen any of the models and think I would have been quite happy.

Ewan took time with me answered all my questions. It was a great experience. He even encouraged me to stay as long as I wanted to try the horns.

If you are looking for a new horn, I would encourage everybody to check out Divitt trumpets. I can’t wait until I get mine!!!

Did a beautiful job on buttons for my Stage 1. Dino bone inlays. Would highly recommend Ewans work.

I would load a picture if I could figure out how. ☹️

I'm getting a vintage Bach strad and I probably need to get new finger buttons made for that horn once I get it.
