Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a professional C trumpet, the Phaeton PHT-2021 pairs a gold-lacquer finish with a short-stroke piston design and fast-taper leadpipe. Its custom suspension layout incorporates distinctive thumb-hook and finger-ring details, acoustically designed bracing, Monel pistons, and red-brass valve ports. Phaeton describes the instrument in terms of intonation, crisp resonance, focused projection, balance, and enhanced valve action. An oversized tan tweed-covered all-wood case with burgundy plush lining and a velour cover is included.
