General Comments

I took delivery of the Geneva Platypus trumpet five weeks ago, and having tried Bach's, Xeno's, Eclipse and Smith Watkins, I heard the name Geneva coming up in conversation time and time again without a bad word to be said for them, so I went to see them, and the service was first class. This man is a trumpet making genius! If he can't give you what you want in a horn then no one can.

Go and get one! This is the best trumpet I have ever played.

    I have just taken delivery of a New Geneva Vioti Trumpet today. As you have said, Tim Oldroyd is a great trumpet maker. This is the best trumpet that I have ever blown in my 30 years as a pro trumpet player and teacher. I had the Vioti trumpet made to my exact specification, with a solid nickel silver bell, with superb engraving and gold plating on the tuning slides. The craftsmanship is second-to-none, and it blows like no other trumpet that I know of.

    Thanks Tim...
