Description Brand: B&S Key: C Finish: Silver Valve Material: Monel Items Included: Case, Cleaning Kit
Hello trumpet players! Up for sale is my fantastic B&S C trumpet.This is B&S’ version of the classic Bach 229 C trumpet. Matt Muckey plays a B&S C very similar to this one in the New York Philharmonic, and it’s easy to see why: this horn plays great, with excellent intonation and a huge orchestral sound. The reverse leadpipe ensures great intonation and an open blow. If you’re looking for a Bach C trumpet in excellent shape for a killer price, look no further!So why am I selling this great horn? Here’s the deal: I bought this C trumpet new during my master’s degree in (classical) trumpet performance. I wanted a horn that played like a Bach C, but wouldn’t set me back almost $3000. I loved playing this horn and used it often enough in graduate school, but my playing has shifted almost entirely to jazz. I just don’t need a C trumpet.This horn has only been worked on by Charlie Melk of Charlie’s Brass Works. He performed a valve alignment, removed a solder blob, and set the mouthpiece receiver gap (installing one of his mouthpiece receivers in the process). I’m including the original receiver, of course. And Charlie can send you replacement pads at any time, as he has the measurements on file.This horn has been carefully maintained, and it’s in amazing shape. It has a couple of tiny scratches, but they're too small to show up in pictures. The valves are in excellent shape, and the horn ships with its original case.I accept PayPal, and I ship UPS Ground within 24 hours. I can also ship USPS if you prefer. I’ve sold many trumpets on eBay, and I pack expertly and safely. International buyers are always welcome, too!Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to see more pictures – I pride myself on excellent communication. Thanks for looking!Jonathan
