Clarine-Trumpet in E flat
Description
The expression 'clarino-trumpet' was created in the 20th century. It refers to instruments that have been reconstructed for the high trumpet parts in baroque music.
The two present natural trumpets represent the result of the efforts made in the early 1960s. They have three holes to make playing easier (two in the front and one in the back).
The coiled form was inspired by a painting of Bach's time, in which the Leipzig trumpeter Gottfried Reiche (1667–1734) is shown with such an instrument.
Paul Sacher bought the instruments in 1963 for their use in the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. In 1964 they were played in Basel in a concert of the Friends of Early Music in Basel for the trumpet parts in the Orchestral Suite Nr. 4, in D major, BWV 1069, by Johann Sebastian Bach.
