The Name Jaeger-Diamond:

The word, Jaeger, is a German translation of Ivan's name, Hunter. They wanted to call their range of instruments Hunter, but discovered that there was already a trumpet made in China with this label. The German name is appropriate, however, as so much of the initial research was done in Germany. The Diamond part of the name is to acknowledge the research of Dr John Diamond into the design of this trumpet.

C Trumpet:

Now there is a C trumpet based on this same design. It has a large throat lead-pipe, and an extended throw on the 3rd slide which makes it instantly possible to play a low F. Players remark on its similarity to the Jaeger-Diamond Bb and the ease of transition between the two instruments.

D and Eb Trumpet:

The D trumpet (prototype pictured below), also based on the Bb and C trumpets, with a revised lead pipe taper, is available on special order. It plays very well in tune even without a thumb saddle and finger ring, and is so well balanced that it does not require a pinky hook. The Eb trumpet is a similar design to the D, but is not a Eb/D trumpet. The relationship between lead pipe length and bell length needs to be maintained. It is not satisfactory to change the length of just one of these lengths. It is best to make the trumpet in a specific key.

Mouthpiece:

We also have the Jaeger 3M mouthpiece incorporating the aerodynamics of the very successful (but now discontinued) Giardinelli 3M and the outside profile and mass which better complements the response of the Jaeger-Diamond trumpets. The intonation and response with this mouthpiece is superb.
