My trumpets needed to be cleaned and some dents removed. It was also a nice excuse to play test his latest\u00a0trumpet models, the B8 and B9 and some new Oiram models. He had most models\u00a0laying on a table so I could play them\u00a0for a couple of hours during my stay.<\/p>\n<p>Hub told me the new B8 has a Sterling Silver bell and\u00a0you can get it with 3 different shape bells,\u00a0with medium or normal weight body and round or D shape tuning slide, I like the D shape better. It has a reversed leadpipe btw. It played very solid and every note clicked right in their slot. I liked it a lot after I got used to it&#8217;s playing feel. The B9 has a newly designed valve block, I only played a couple of notes on it so I can&#8217;t give any insight on this horn.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite horn of the day was a B7 which wasn&#8217;t finished yet. I already played this model because one of my Miller colleagues has one, but Hub made\u00a0some changes to this model so it didn&#8217;t feel to big for me anymore but still very open with a big sound. I had a hard time laying it down!<\/p>\n<p>After some hours Hub finished one of my horns and I will visit him again in a week to collect\u00a0my other trumpet when Markus Stockhausen is giving a clinic in his shop (02\/22). Oh, they are also working hard on a new website, which looked great! As always, it was great fun to visit his shop and I&#8217;m looking forward to my next visit&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_920\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-920\" style=\"width: 3141px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-920 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2.jpg\" alt=\"van Laar B8.2\" width=\"3141\" height=\"1736\" data-id=\"920\" srcset=\"http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2.jpg 3141w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2-300x166.jpg 300w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2-1024x566.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-2-1170x647.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3141px) 100vw, 3141px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Van Laar B8.2 trumpet with Sterling Silver bell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-921\" style=\"width: 3264px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-921 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3.jpg\" alt=\"van Laar Oiram IV trumpet\" width=\"3264\" height=\"1480\" data-id=\"921\" srcset=\"http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3-300x136.jpg 300w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3-1024x464.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/erikveldkamp.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Hub-van-Laar-3-1170x531.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a lacquered Van Laar Oiram trumpet with bronze valve cluster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 years after I bought my R2 trumpet, it was time to visit Hub van Laar&#8217;s shop again.
