Galileo Piston Trumpets
The Rhenus Series
The modern classic for a broad field of styles
With the Rhenus, we have broken new ground in search of a universally applicable, yet characteristic timbre. The usual good intonation and responsiveness of a Galileo was combined with the wonderfully coloured and under-the-skin sound of well-known vintage models. Thus, the traditional appearance was enriched with fresh influences. New bell shapes were oriented to vintage models. This was combined with a reversed leadpipe architecture for a well-supporting airflow. Turned outer slides build the basis of a traditional mass distribution, however, without the inherent stresses of soldered flanges. The Rhenus series is the modern classic at Galileo.

The Giolo Series
Timeless elegance
The Giolo series impresses with a sophisticated elegance, both visually and tonally. Both instruments share the distinct combination of a very large bell with a lightweight valve block. Heavyweight elements are used in a targeted manner without ever compromising ease and agility. As a result, the tones are particularly well centered with a warm, velvety sound in the piano range and a great beam in the high register. The powerful air flow is loved by players of all genres.

All instruments of the Joo series impress with their distinctable modern and mature timbres.
