Famed Las Vegas Trumpet/Flugelhorn artist Dave Perrico and his ensemble of 12 talented musicians, Pop Strings Evolution, presented a master class featuring two new Phaeton models at local Family Music Center in Las Vegas.
The event took place at Family Music Center in Las Vegas and featured the introduction of 2 new Phaeton models: PHT-LV 1200 Trumpet and PHTF-LV 2800 Flugelhorn. More than 60 visitors/educators/players were in attendance for this outstanding event.
David played/demonstrated both horns and explained the new innovative features of each in detail to a captivated audience of enthusiastic music lovers.
The LV trumpet, designed by Perrico, has a revolutionary conical design whereby the bore size at the piston cluster starts at .460 and graduates to a .470 beyond the main tuning slide. This unique design offers any player a smoother transition of sound/timbre from the traditional ML size to a huge solid projection at the bell flare.
The Flugelhorn is our newest upgrade for most demanding players. It’s reconfigured trigger mechanism is as smooth as silk and the “slotting” is perfect. Both horns come in our exclusive hand finished brush brass and a custom designer case.
The event lasted almost two hours with solo performances by Perrico and his lead tenor sax man who was checking out a Sax Dakota raw bronze model. The Pop Strings women performed solo and ensemble compositions and backed up David for the entire event.
Jim Mason, owner of Family Music Center had this to say, “In my many years in business, I have never seen or heard such a wonderful and professional group provide so much product information in such an entertaining way. We plan to do this again in the near future”
David Perrico has been an endorsing Phaeton artist since 2010 and is looking forward to great success with the new Las Vegas Trumpet and Flugelhorn. David’s group performs regularly at high profile venues in Las Vegas and has been featured in many local and national music events.
The two new Las Vegas horns will be available sometime in August. The Trumpet is advertised at: $3,250.00. The Flugelhorn at: $2,450.00.
