Originally Scott wanted a more free style of blow so in an effort to get him dialed in we started with a Large bore .465 valve bore with a venturi tube at .349 that he originally loved.  Once Scott got more comfortable with the trumpet he realized that the blow is excessive for his playing style and was fading out after one hour.  He reached out to Steve and Steve said "no problem man...." "let's build you one that will help with endurance" and now he is a happy camper.  

Thank you, Scott for allowing me to build your custom trumpet and for your friendship.  You're always welcome in my shop and looking forward to hearing you make this build scream!
