Description Vintage Persy Le Triomphe Trumpet This Vintage Persy Le Triomphe Trumpet has an interesting and unusual design. It plays OK and has quite a bright tone. It is a high pitched instrument but there is enough wriggle room using the two tuning slides to bring it down to concert pitch. About Joseph Persy: Joseph Persy opened his own factory Persy instruments at 39 Boulevard Baudouin in Bruxelles, where he also sold string instruments.
