Antoine Courtois, Bellecour, AC233-2-0 ●The excellence of French brass music, which began in 1789, is attributed to Jean-Baptiste Albin (known as Arban in Japan), who lived in Place Bellecour in the heart of Lyon and left a great legacy for posterity. Antoine Courtois has carried on that tradition and unveiled a new model, the Belcourt Bb trumpet. The elegant yet bold Bellecour was conceived and developed by trumpeter Clément Saunier and designer Adrien Jaminet. It embodies the refined design philosophy of French brass instruments. Building upon the sonic tradition of Antoine Courtois, the trumpet embodies the elegance of the iconic place from which the ensemble derives its name. The Bellecour sound, a blend of tradition and modernity, is imbued with the history of brass instruments. ● The trumpet was conceived as a work of art and shaped to bring out the artistry of the performer. Powerful and easily controllable sound projection, balanced acoustic design Ease of pronunciation and natural pitch ? A response that instantly captures every nuance.
