- [Links in description] I absolutely love the new Edwards X-13 trumpet and we just got one into the shop! We're so excited to be opening up as dealers for Edwards and Getzen, because the instruments are fantastic! Yesterday at the shop I was playtesting this horn against some of the horns in my collection and some of the other great horns we have in stock. This horn definitely holds its own! The connectivity and fluidity from note to note is just awesome on the X-13. It's so much fun to play around on this horn. It really has everything you could want in a trumpet sound!
You can order it here on our web store: www.austincust...
The X-13 is a fresh take on trumpet design. From a distance this might look like some of the heavier trumpets on the market, but this is a lightweight trumpet. There are actually a lot of design elements that reduce the weight of this horn, making it extremely responsive. It's one of the most responsive trumpets I've ever played.
In the 1960s and '70s there was a trend towards "skeletonized" trumpet designs that were very light weight and responsive. It's a great design for playing with a microphone. In the mid 1980s the trend was towards heavier horns and thicker sounds, influenced by players like Wynton Marsalis. Then in the late '90s preferences started moving back towards more moderately weighted horns. This horn uses some of the best ideas from those trends.
You'll see that this trumpet looks a little bit shorter that most trumpets. That's due to the wider wrap of the horn (similar to the wrap of the Conn Connstellation design). Check out the curve of the bell and the tuning slide! The finger buttons and top caps are designed to reduce the weight of the horn. The inner valves are also designed for reduced weight.
The tuning slide is a completely unique design. It's not the ovated slide you see on a Monette or the Adams A1 for instance. It also has the unipillar resonance enhancers, which definitely affect the sound and response of the horn. It helps to mellow out the sound a little. Can you hear a difference on these clips? Let us know in the comments.
The bell diameter isn't too large, it gives you good response behind the horn while still having a directional sound out into the room. One issue with some of larger diameter bells at 5.5" or more is that the sound shape really spreads out in front of the bell. This horn bridges the gap between player feedback and directionality of the sound shape. It also helps that the wrap brings the bell a little closer to you as a player.
This horn works great with a variety of mouthpieces. It really lights up in the upper register with a lead mouthpiece. I've really been liking our new KGU booster sleeve with my acrylic mouthpiece top. This is a great addition if you play one of our acrylic tops because it's specially designed for our mouthpiece shape: www.austincust...

Great blend of brilliance and warmth and extremely responsive. Love the sound. And yes, can't believe it's on the lighter side.
Such a cool horn. I remember trying one at the Edwards factory and remarked how much I could feel the horn resonating in my hands. Definitely want to get one someday.
it is a tremendous instrument!
Those are beautiful trumpets. They are kind of super horns, great for everything. I played PTs a few years ago when he was out in the Bay Area. Of course I have so many horns on my list but this one has been on mine forever a while.
Wow! That horn obviously ‘fits’ you and sound spectacular. The resonators are interesting. I remember being at the Edwards both at ITG 2015 where they had a magnetized bit that could be placed on the 3rd valve slide which totally changed how the horn played = blew my mind!
It's incredible. Been playing it all night at home. Ridiculous instrument
Do you know which model it is
Gorgeous!
The X 17 is a great horn too.
I've been playing an X-13 for about a year and recently started playing the ACB 1.25CS with it! Great combo. Glad to hear you are bringing the X-13 to the people!
I love it. So many great new horns,but this one looks and sounds like something special
this maybe the
The X13 is the real deal. One of (if not THE best) the best horns on the market!
Silky smooth 👍🏻👌🏻
That’s a beauty!👍✌️
You sound amazing on this horn.
Thanks!
I have a 24k scratch gold Getzen Genesis I might like to trade for an X-13! Don't know if you guys take in trades and how you determine the trade in value
We are not interested in a trade but would be more than happy to sell you a x-13
I actually heard a difference with the resonator! Insane how it can affect that mutch. God i'm in love with this instrument! If only i could actually sell my other trumpets (seems impossible).
Hi Trent! Thanks for the video! I think this is the best review of the X-13 on the channel. Thanks for taking time with the harmonic pillar. It was worth the wait.
I need to try them some more but I was floored by the difference!
I really enjoy the sound of your Charlier 4 on this. Great horn and player.
Great sounding horn!!
