What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
.462-inch bore
A large bore. Takes more air and rewards it with a broader sound and more volume at the top.
Detail 03
Rose brass leadpipe
Higher copper content than yellow brass. Adds warmth and a slightly softer response to the initial attack.
Detail 04
Monel pistons
A corrosion-resistant alloy. Holds tolerances over years of play, so valve action stays fast.
Detail 05
1st valve saddle, 3rd valve fixed ring
Intonation adjustments on the fly. The saddle is a thumb hook; the fixed ring does not slide to fit finger size.
Detail 06
Silver plate finish
Slightly brighter and more focused than lacquer. Needs polishing to keep tarnish off.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece and case both included — check the mouthpiece suits you before buying another
- 02Silver plate tarnishes; budget for polish cloth and regular cleaning
- 03The 3rd valve ring is fixed, so a tech may need to adjust it to your hand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is a C trumpet used for?
Orchestral playing, mostly. It reads at concert pitch so there is no transposing, and its tone sits brighter and more focused than a B-flat in an ensemble.
02Does it come with a case and mouthpiece?
Yes. Both a case and a mouthpiece are included.
03Is the .462 bore hard to play?
It is a large bore and takes steady air support. Advanced players get more volume and a wider sound from it; a developing player may tire faster.
04Where is it made?
Taiwan.
