CAROL BRASS Andrea Giuffredi Model (Andrea Giuffredi Signature Model) ●CAROL BRASS Founded in 1989 in northern Taiwan by Kim Lee and his wife Carol Lo, Hoxon Gakki Corp. began manufacturing instruments such as trumpets, cornets, and trombones, with engineers who had left established instrument manufacturers with a strong sense of purpose. Subsequently, they relocated their state-of-the-art wind instrument factory to the south and, with advice from Taiwanese orchestra musicians and performers in Europe and the United States, proceeded with instrument production. Based on four models ranging from standard to high-end—"Legend," "Deluxe," "Junior," and "Pioneer"—they began selling "Carol(R)" brand brass instruments worldwide. Furthermore, they supply musical instruments and parts to numerous well-known manufacturers, and their high level of technical expertise is highly regarded worldwide. In 2011, the company adopted a new trademark brand name, "CarolBrass(R)," and has since exhibited at international musical instrument trade shows such as "Musikmesse" in Frankfurt and "NAMM" in the United States, gaining high praise from around the world as a promising new musical instrument manufacturer. ●Andrea Giuffredi Model A signature model trumpet has been released, developed in collaboration with world-renowned trumpeter Andrea Giuffredi and Carol Brass.
