This instrument has served me well through many professional performances and several auditions. I am trying to thin out my collection and I am looking for a good home for this trumpet. The serial number is stamped 311XXX and from what I know when I bought it, it was made in 1989. It has a 25 H leadpipe, a 229 bell, and a Large bore (.462), a standard combination for orchestra, solo, and chamber playing. I had a patch soldered on the second valve slide because the metal was thin, but it was professionally done and looks great (check the pictures). All the slides and valves move great and the compression is good. I have taken good care of it and it is cleaned and ready to be delivered. If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a message and I will do my best to answer as soon as I can. Please also check out my other listings that are out and soon to come. Thank you and happy bidding.
