Bb Bass trumpet CTR 592-3 from the V.F.Červený factory.
This model is being constructed in traditional wide construction. Due to a larger bore the bass trumpet has a wider and mellower timbre in comparison to CTR 590.
Well-balanced tuning and easy response are good features for brass bands, but bass trumpet is often used in military bands and sporadically in symphonic or opera orchestra (for example: Janacek Sinfonieta, Richard Wagner Der Ring des Nibelungen).
