  • What was the creation happening of the LA TROMBA product line?

    During World War II, a 10 year old boy has to flee from the turmoils of war in Germany. Starting from Dresden, he is marching during the night and eventually he finds refuge in Switzerland and is getting in touch with his cousin I. Hemmeler.

    Years later, he became a famous trumpeter and is playing as a soloist at a concert. I. Hemmeler, who attends to the event, is surprised to see him sweating a lot. After the performance, he explains: "I was so afraid a valve would seize up!" 

    I. Hemmeler: "Is there no lubricant you could use? Unbelievable! If that is the case, I will formulate a lubricant for you!"

    No sooner said than done! 

    The gramophone record which made our trumpet soloist famous is entitled: "LA TROMBA". So I. Hemmeler decided to brand the new products LA TROMBA.
