The XO 1600 Roger Ingram Bb Trumpet is a technical and versatile model, made in Taiwan. With carefully selected features, it offers a high-quality musical experience at an incredible price. Reinforced nickel silver slides and two-piece valve casings ensure great durability and excellent resonance.

The handcrafted yellow brass B1 bell produces a rich and balanced sound. The reverse rose brass leadpipe provides quick response and precise articulation. Stainless steel pistons ensure smooth and reliable action.

The trumpet comes with additional accessories, including two braces (round and square) and a box containing springs, caps, and interchangeable valve buttons. The elliptical and rounded tuning slide facilitates precise adjustments. The two sets of valve buttons in metal and pearl allow for aesthetic customization.

The intonation of the trumpet is remarkable, with superbly balanced note placement. Its versatile sound makes it suitable for all musical styles. The 11.50 mm M bore offers a balance between ease of play and control.

However, some aspects of the build quality could be improved. The lacquer and gold plating are prone to wear, so it is recommended to choose the silver finish for better longevity. The valve action may also vary in terms of build quality. It is important to note that this trumpet is manufactured to more industrial standards, which can result in lower quality compared to European and American handcrafted models.

The provided case is aesthetically pleasing but may lack practicality. Consideration should be given to the transport and protection needs of the instrument.
