Fabulous Instrument
When it arrived, it had not been oiled before dispatch, and I had to take it apart, including stuck valves, before I could use it.
However, when I did start playing, It was like a dream instrument. Silky smooth sound, as near perfectly in tune as I've ever found on a trumpet. The large bore gives it an amazing dynamic range. A little bit difficult to slot at the top end, but you would expect that from an instrument that has a more conical bell than usual trumpets. If you want a lead instrument, don't get this, but it's perfect for jazz. It's a copy of the Martin Committee, but without the worn-out valves and vintage price-tag!
