What’s the difference between a Solo and a Solo MAX?The Solo MAX offers the biggest, warmest and widest sound of all the trumpets on our menu. It’s ideal for soloists who prefer an oversized-bell horn. 🎵🎺❤️Its smaller cousin, the Solo model, trades in a little bit of the width of sound to gain more stability. It has almost as big of a sound, probably around 80% of the Solo MAX (which is more than enough for most soloists), but much more defined note targets.This becomes extra clear in the upper register, where the Solo model has very well-defined slots for every note. The Solo MAX is remarkably easy to play upstairs for a trumpet of its size, but it does require more personal responsibility for where the notes goes.In a nutshell:Solo = Big sound, very stable and well-defined note targetsSolo MAX = Biggest sound, with more flexible note targets
