Trompetix

After its birth, the Trompetix shines in a brilliant silver tone, but as it ages, it becomes increasingly brown, and its valves grow more sluggish.

Moisture, in particular, accelerates the aging process. To counteract this, it enjoys drinking oil—though only a very light one—because heavy oil would make its valves too stiff, and its famous tooting would no longer be heard with the usual virtuosity.

The Trompetix is originally native to Unterbiberg, where a family of brass players has been practicing daily for the past 30 years. Over the decades, so many trumpet parts have been „lost“ that, in the basement of the old schnapps distillery at Gut Unterbiberg, this very musical (albeit loud) creature could take form.
Right in front of St. George’s Church, the creature rose and blasted its first fanfare. Unlike its siblings, which can also be found in Kaiserslautern, it is truly one of a kind!
