Van Laar Chuck Findley Signature Model Bb Trumpet – Single Brace
Built for the demands of the stage. Tuned for the nuance of the studio.
The Chuck Findley Signature Model from Van Laar is a masterclass in balance — delivering the control, projection, and tonal warmth that professionals rely on across every musical setting. Designed in collaboration with Chuck Findley, whose career spans iconic big bands, film soundtracks, and world tours, this trumpet reflects decades of experience distilled into a single instrument.
The single brace version offers faster response and a livelier feel — ideal for players who want immediacy without sacrificing depth.
“My signature model Van Laar trumpet has the perfect resistance I need to play in a big band, but also has the warmth needed for a small group or soloing on a film call.”
— Chuck Findley
