Discover a trumpet with an exceptional price-performance ratio, designed specifically for jazz and variety. Its main feature is the ability to adjust the weight of the bottom valve caps, allowing musicians to modulate the sound according to their preferences. Made in the USA, this trumpet features a 0.462-inch (11.73 mm) bore, a one-piece ML bell, Monel pistons, and heavy valve caps. Its reversed leadpipe and rounded tuning slide complete its technical design. The silver-plated finish gives it an elegant appearance. Additionally, it incorporates the patented 'Modular Valve Weight System'.
The advantages of this trumpet are numerous. Thanks to the standard bottom valve caps that allow sound modulation, musicians can express their creativity uniquely. It excels in the jazz domain, particularly favored by section musicians. The build quality is also very appreciable, with a performant mechanism ensuring excellent playability.
However, some points need to be addressed. There is a slight sound imbalance across the range, which might be considered a disadvantage. Additionally, the finish of some elements, such as the metals, varnish, or silver plating, may sometimes show defects. The case, while aesthetically pleasing and well-finished, is heavy and lacks practicality. Its protective capacity in case of a fall can be questioned.
