Instruments in Production

In an era where new instruments are marketed with buzzwords like “vintage” or “custom,” many manufacturers are simply chasing what they once had. Our instruments don’t need empty adjectives to stand out. From the very first note, it’s clear what makes them unmistakably O’Malley. Handmade and designed by the O’Malley team in Chicago, in collaboration with Jay Friedman, retired principal trombone of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Noah Gladstone of The Brass Ark in Los Angeles. A blend of old-world craftsmanship, modern ingenuity, and remarkable playability.

O'Malley Brass Trumpets are currently in the prototyping stage. Follow us on social media for updates on new, original instruments. 

Historical reproductions from the baroque period to the romantic era. All of my period instruments (and more) are sold through Dr. James Hampson of Hampson Horns.
