Stomvi Clappers

Vicente Honorato was experimenting with different ways to affect the resonance and Harmonics of the trumpet. He discovered he could achieve a different sound and resonance by adding mini bell shaped objects to different parts of the piston and valve casing.

MaxiClapper

With the MaxiClapper bottom caps we accomplish something essential for the players: dynamic COMFORT that widely eases the performance. Thanks to the higher size than the Clapper caps, it improves the sound emission and the passage of the note, it powers and maximizes the lateral dimension, functioning as external resonators. The emergence of a 6th harmonic is achieved thanks to the way the bells inside are built and tuned.

Clapper Bottom Caps

The combination of our harmonic bottom cap led to the Clapper cap. Many player find these increase the density of sound along with better slotting. Others find the bottom Clapper caps increase stability above the staff.

Piston Clapper

Piston Clappers add damping and affect tonal changes different from other valve damping products. This comes from the shape of the bell and the location at the bottom of the piston. Better slotting and solid attacks are the most common benefits.
