By his love to music he started
a passionate analysis of this job. Particularly the working
with wind instruments became the center of his life. First it
was Manfred Schmelzer's priority to sell instruments including
the repair and service of metal wind instruments. He has been
working in this special field for approximately 30 years. He
has achieved profound specialist knowledge, that is well-known
and appreciated in and outside Germany.
In the cause of the years he has accumulated a treasure of experience,
which is very useful for advising his customers and for selling
and servicing the instruments. Because of the increase of assembly-line
production of instruments, he gradually came to the idea to
return to the traditional production of trombones in high-quality.
("Chicago
Hot Stuff" - Modell 2, Gold)
In
the following years he developed his own line of high quality
trombones, handmade, with greatly improved sound, for which he
used the finest materials available today. Very quickly the fame
of the Schmelzer Trombones, of which he has developed 5 models
to this day, spread among the experts, who took to them with enthusiasm.
In the meantime, they are sold all over the world.
