From today, Saturday, March 16th through Sunday, March 24th, we will be displaying various demo models from "da Carbo," known for its carbon-fiber instruments.
Speaking of carbon fiber instruments, they're also famous for being used by Roy Hargrove in his later years.

The carbon bell provides a quick response right from the start and delivers a rich, warm sound even in the higher registers, which can often sound thin and harsh.
Another characteristic is a more balanced playing feel with less unevenness in resonance compared to standard metal bells.
This time, we're displaying two trumpets, one flugelhorn, and three tenor trombones.
The Unica model features a carbon-fiber bell covering half the surface. Its higher proportion of brass bell material provides a pleasing sense of "normalcy."
For those seeking the full appeal of a carbon bell, the Large model is ideal. It features an all-carbon bell construction, a larger bell size, and a slightly heavier design.
The flugelhorn, in particular, is exceptionally well-crafted. It produces that characteristic warm flugelhorn sound, is easy to play, and remains stable even when pushed hard. This is a model we strongly encourage you to try, setting aside any preconceptions about the material.
The trombone is equally intriguing.
The carbon slide enables a light, responsive slide action and articulation. We've received numerous comments that slide work has become significantly easier.
I've gone on at length, but these qualities are hard to convey in words alone.
Seeing is believing... so please try them in-store. Only until Sunday, March 24th!!
