Jaeger New York tuned by Dr. John Diamond

serial #283909

One of the last  example tuned By Mr. John Diamond, RARE! Collector item! 

Dr John Diamond, who died a few years ago in his late 80’s, was an MD, psychiatrist and therapist who developed the deepest music therapy in the world, by far. He found that certain instruments, if carefully modified, had therapeutic effects on the player and the audience. This Jaeger is one of these. . This would be a treasured possession for a trumpet player who wants to go beyond just sound.

The chassis of the Jaeger trumpet is built to our design in the Czech Republic. These chassis are then crafted into the various models in our New York workshop.

Leadpipe

Jaeger trumpets utilize our proprietary No-Overlap mouthpiece receiver and decoupled brace. The yellow brass lead pipe achieves maximum focus, giving the player greatest control over slotting, projection and timbre. The selection of a pinky ring rather than a pinky hook helps retain the vibrations, avoiding radiating them like the tines of a tuning fork.

Tuning slide

The square shaped main slide improves feedback to the player. Sound waves love straight lines! Plunger style (like Amado but user serviceable) water keys are used to avoid torque and pressure on the tubing.

Valve cluster

The unique playfulness of Jaeger trumpets comes from the valve cluster. It has one-piece yellow brass casings, with high mounted braces to dampen spurious vibration around the spring box. Finger buttons are nickel silver to optimize the sensory feedback to the player. The pistons are precision honed stainless steel. This is truly the heart of the instrument!
