Accent TR-950 (B&S 3143 stencil)

The Accent TR-950 is a B&S Challenger 3143 stencil, and is analogous to a Bach Stradivarius model 43. This trumpet has a one-piece, hand-hammered 43 taper bell, monel valves, and was made by B&S in Germany. The valve action is as smooth as glass, and the slides are also fast and smooth. The trumpet has a solid core and is nicely balanced in the hand, reminiscent of a vintage Bach. This is a true professional model instrument available at a very attractive price. Whether you’re a student looking for your first pro horn, a professional looking for a reliable backup instrument, or a collector who wants a German-made instrument without breaking the bank, this is the horn for you. The silver plating is 100% intact and is very lightly tarnished. There are two small pings in the bell, one near the valve section and one near the logo on the bell (both pictured), and the horn is otherwise near-mint.
