In a small shop in the hills of Tennessee Lawler trumpets are built one at a time.  For  23 years I have strived to make what the player wants. Each Lawler Trumpet starts with a personal consultation as to what bell,leadpipe and bore will best suit your playing needs. Every aspect of a custom Lawler is taken into consideration for total satisfaction from its player.

Lets Talk about Finishes!
No Finish Lasts Forever!
I wanted to make players aware of our Brush (scratch) lacquer finish. Lawler trumpets was first to offer this finish in lacquer and have been applying it for several years now. The advantages of this finish is that it is very maintainable over time. If you wear through an area it can be touched up with no visible signs. It does not change playability as I still use an air dry lacquer that is not hard and thick. Also turn around is faster as it is done in our shop. Plating such as silver and gold take longer and gold plate has become very expensive. So consider this finish. Plating will add up to 4-6 weeks to your build time. Brush lacquer will only add a few days. If you have any more questions about our brush lacquer for your new or old Lawler, just give me a call.

What makes it a Lawler?

One of the comments made most often about my trumpets is how responsive and even the trumpet feels. This is due to the type bracing I use. In the pictures below you will see the braces that connect the bell to the leadpipe. I make them in three pieces. This allows for the rod in the middle to float when cooling. This keeps stress from developing. Unlike the angled solid braces used on most trumpets the heat stress has nowhere to go but to pull in or out. Also my three piece brace is connected directly across from leadpipe to bell. This allows for an even feel. After these braces are installed they will be stress relieved several times.

This week I have added some pictures of the finishing of the main braces. I do all of the solder joint cleaning and polishing by hand. The reason for this is that the large companies put the finished assembled trumpet in a ACID etching solution to remove excess solder for speed. This is why some trumpets have red rot problems as they are left in to long. The strong acid pulls the zinc out of the brass.
