The MV1 and MV2 Van Cleave Professional Trumpets have been designed with real playing in mind, breaking new ground in trumpet design for today's most demanding playing situations. Matching both leadpipe and bell designs to produce acoustically balanced instruments with unparalleled performance. Efficiency in design combined with custom adjusted "blow" produce trumpets that work with you to help you achieve your best performance. Each trumpet is carefully play tested by Mark Van Cleave prior to shipping.

Finishing up 2 MV1's and 2 MV2's by the end of this week! Will be taking them down to IU School of Music to let some players get their hands on them and for more feedback. Bill Adam, Dominic Spera, Joey Tartell, and Mike Hackett, and a few students all got a chance to put some prototypes through their paces a week ago and all feedback was GREAT! Comments such as "LOVE 'EM!", "that's just wrong ...the high notes are EASY!", "More even than my Bach".
