"I visited the RS Berkeley main office last spring to test some trumpets for my students. After playing through a few different models I was asked to try the prototype of the new TP612. My first comment was "wow" and my only question was "can I buy this one too?" I am thrilled with the silver plated model I chose. This horn really sings, has quick response, good intonation, and can cut through when I need it to. I can also get a full, broad sound across the whole range and, speaking of range, the upper register is fantastic on these horns. I've used it in big band, commercial and combo gigs and it sounds great.”
