Jaeger Piano Reflector

The worst place to listen to a grand piano is at the keyboard! Have pity on the player.

This reflector sends the sound of the piano back to the player as well as dispersing it all round the room.

Players remark that it makes their playing feel so much easier.

I am the owner of two cherished Williams #6 trombones. I have been sending my slides all over the country to get them re-aligned. Needless to say there is some anxiety in waiting for your slide to come back and not be lost or destroyed. Since 2012 I have had my slides serviced by a truly caring and knowledgeable master craftsman......Ivan Hunter. The great news is that he is located in Westchester county just north of Manhattan. Ivan takes care of my slides as if they were his own. He is honest and treats my instruments with the utmost respect. One would be hard-pressed to find someone like him anywhere else in the country.


Hi Ivan, just a quick note to let you know that my first impressions were confirmed when I got home and did some playing on the C trumpet. It is very responsive, and pitch seems to better than on the factory Bach C’s I have played in the past.  I played through the first movement of the Lovelock Concerto and everything felt great.  I pinched a high E-flat the first time, then opened up the air and went for it a second time and the horn took it just fine. I really remember my old Bach C as feeling like hard work compared to my B-flat.  This plays very comfortably for me. Needless to say I am delighted and thank you for your excellent work!


Got the Jaeger trumpet. Excellent! It exceeds my expectations.

Really a fine trumpet you've got here. I can see why you're so proud of them!

I'm a new convert to Jaeger trumpets from Ivan Hunter in New York. Possibly the best trumpet I've ever played and the price is nothing short of astounding.

I played his horns at the last two ITG conferences. The horns are just what is advertised. I would recommend these trumpets to anyone from a serious beginner to a pro player. The horns do play that well. They might be the best bang for your money in the trumpet world. They are certainly better than any of the watered down facsimiles of the “name” horns out there now.

Thumbs up from me about his horns too. Tried them at the ITG and was super impressed.

Beautiful Ballad horn that really sizzles when you push it!

This has to be the best value in a professional trumpet you can buy!

Thanks, Ivan. Your trumpet is indeed the "trumpet players trumpet". It is simple in design like the good old Conns. No frills, no geegaws. Just good response that lets me just concentrate on the music. You have my endorsement.


There is a new champion of the "common trumpet player"- his name is Ivan Hunter!!!

Under Development

Jaeger Cornet - This instrument marries the double heritage of the Cornet: British Brass Band and Jazz. Featuring a trumpet mouthpiece receiver, it can be played with either a trumpet or a (British style) cornet mouthpiece with adaptor to produce whichever sound and style is required. To those who might cry "heresy!" we would point out that if anyone has the right to develop the cornet in this way it would be one who has been to the very top of the cornet world. Ivan Hunter, the designer and builder of this instrument certainly has! Among his many achievements as a cornet player, he was was Solo Cornet in the National Band of New Zealand which won the 1970 World Championship.

Jaeger Bb/C Trumpet - similar to the C/D ascending valve trumpet but based in Bb. For the player who needs to remove a couple of sharps in playing conditions like Broadway shows, or the player who wants to be able to play concert pitch sheet music (like Hymnals etc) without the need to transpose.

These enhancers work better than heavy bottom caps. Plus they don't add any extra weight.


These enhancers give me a solid core of sound.


These enhancers give me better projection, better response, and better accuracy.


They turned a pretty ordinary Bach into a great one!


My tone immediatlely sounded more clear and pure.


The enhancers smooth out the slotting in the mid-range and add some body to the sound.


Yes, they really work!


I gained a quick focused attack and a more centered sound.


Yes they really do work. I have tried them on Bach, Selmer, Getzen and Schilke. On the Selmer Radial 2 degree horns mount them as close to the upper valve cap as possible. All other horns work great as pictured!


For what you might spend on a beer and a burger, you get a permanent upgrade to your performance!
