Winner of the German Musical Instrument Award 2014!
Kühnl & Hoyer wins in the category Bb-tenor trombone already the sixth time the “German Musical Instrument Award 2014”, lent by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy.
The jury praised the Bart van Lier .512” bore Bb-tenor trombone for “its play-ability has an outstanding effectiveness”. Very comfortable handling, good proportion and intonation, tuning and manual workmanship.
Since 1996, Kuhnl and Hoyer have successfully cooperated with the accepted worldwide solo trombonist of the “Metropole Orchestra Hilversum” Bart van Lier. Over this time they have worked to develop a trombone range of modern, high-quality instruments suited for jazz, big band and the symphonic section. This is one of a set of three trombones made for trombonist Bart van Lier by Kuhnl & Hoyer in Markt Erlbach, Germany. The others being of .480/.488 dual and .500" bore.
Bart van Lier: “The Bart van Lier “.512“ has the same characteristic like the models “.480/88 MK II” and “.500”. The differences are the larger bore and the larger bell leading to an increased sound. Because of these features, this model is applicable in brass bands very well. The model “.512” is comparably suitable for chamber musical purposes as well as for jazz and classic solos.”
Kuhnl & Hoyer is one of the premier brass instrument makers and these trombones are as beautiful as can be. The .480" slide hand brace is curved, adding a more comfortable grip. The hand slide action is perfectly smooth and quiet, even when clean and dry. The bell rims are left un-soldered in the style of classic Conn and Holton designs, with homage to the classic Urbie Green model. This bell style leads to a livelier response and lighter effort needed to manipulate the sound to your liking. The BLV trombones are sweet like that.
