Seit einigen Jahren beschäftigt sich der Trompeter Steve Altoft mit dem Spiel der mikrotonalen Trompete. Erfreulicherweise macht er eine umfangreiche Dokumentation im Netz zugänglich.
This project, which began in 1998 and was inspired partly by the work of American Trumpeter and Big Band leader Don Ellis. It is a systemically researched and documented project between a composer and a trumpeter, and his 3-valve B-flat trumpet!
Since 1998, the project has expanded exponentially both in the development of ideas, modified instruments and in the creation of new music.
Through this website and associated concerts, lectures, CDs and vidoes, The Microtonal Trumpet has
stirred the imagination of amateur and professional players, students and teachers.
This website describes the development of a 4-valve quarter-tone trumpet in C and a 4-valve trumpet in B-flat capable of playing in 19 equal divisions of the octave (19-div).
The website overall, including our free, online book covers quarter-tone and eighth-tone playing techniques, a full explaination of 19-div and how to approach this tuning on the trumpet, a short history of the microtonal trumpet and a repertoire list.
