I have to agree with Dave Burdett, a Trumpet colleague I know personally and respect. I have owned my Stomvi Elite Bb for a little over three years, and this horn has helped me in Brass Quintet settings and serious R&B work! I love the open feel of this horn and the even response in ALL registers. This Horn Rocks! If you're looking for something different that has a "great" Sound try this horn.

I have played my Stomvi for a week now and I would NEVER have another Trumpet. When my Elite dies, you will see me with a master in my hand, these are by far the best trumpet I have ever played.

This trumpet is extremely accurate in producing each note clearly and cleanly. Whether staccato or legato, each note flows cleanly out of the horn. It's accuracy of attack builds confidence and allows for interesting phrasing which is a notable feature in jazz work. Sometimes, I even hear the sound of the arena when I play any tune with a Spanish rhythm.

This instrument has excellent tone quality and it is easy to tune and play. It has full sound and a fantastic upper register clarity. It is perfect for orchestral or wind ensembles as well as marching band.

I've been playing the Stomvi Elite B flat for three years now and for the first time in a long time, I don't seem to have the urge to try new horns. The Elite has worked beautifully in all my playing situations. A large and full sound for the brass ensemble and a clear and precise tone for commercial applications. The craftsmanship and attention to detail put forth by the maker is quite impressive.

I bought this horn with reversed tuning slide over two years ago and I love it. Wonderful bright sound. I would recommend this horn to anyone. If my horn ever needed replacing I would buy the same one again!

I shopped around for a professional trumpet to buy and I couldn't find one with a tone that I liked and my band director liked. One day I tried a Stomvi. It was the nicest horn I had ever played. I now own one, and couldn't imagine playing any other brand. The Stomvi has an excellent tone and plays great. It also has an great range. I can play the f sharp below the staff as easily as the one in the middle. The upper range is also outstanding. The valves are smooth and respond very well.

I love this horn! It has everything you could ever ask with no-frills! Just the essentials at their best! The valves are top-notch by anyone's standards, the reverse tuning slide on the 330 model makes it a very free-blowing horn, and the response is lightning fast! The high register comes out when it is supposed to and it screams like no other! Tone is smooth and bright just how I like it. If I could change two things though. The Amado water keys would be replaced with traditional spit valves, and I found that the Stomvi mouthpiece makes the horn play a little flat. But other than that, it is the perfect trumpet when matched with the right mouthpiece.

The Stomvi Elite was a great horn at a great price. The response and intonation are fabulous.I get a big sound with projection. I play it as my primary horn in School Band, Jazz band, and church orchestra.

I am a returning member to the Trumpet world after a 12 yr break. I have always played Bachs, but a little too expensive nowadays and craftsmanship & consistency is not what it used to be. After searching around for a new trumpet, and playing a lot of Bachs, I tried the Stomvi Elite 250. That was it. I was sold. Nice rich, dark, and projecting sound. Valves are perfect and excellent craftsmanship!
