BERKELEY Raw Brass STD Eb/D Trumpet w/ Extra Silver D Bell 2019ish - SILVER PLATED

The Berkeley STC All-Silver Eb/D Trumpet with Extra Silver D Bell is a professional-grade "long bell" convertible trumpet that incorporates high-mass components for improved tonal stability. This configuration is specifically designed to compete with high-end orchestral horns.

Key Components & Design

Interchangeable Setup: The kit includes a primary Silver Eb Bell and a separate Silver D Bell, along with a full set of D slides.

Heavy Cap Set: This model features a "Monette-style" heavy cap set on the bottom of the valve casings. This added mass helps "slot" notes more securely and provides a warmer, more centered symphonic sound.

Berliner Pistons: Unlike the standard Perinet valves found on most modern trumpets, this horn uses Berliner Pistons. These allow the air to flow in a perfectly straight line through the valve block, resulting in a freer-blowing feel with significantly less resistance.

Price: New, this instrument typically retails for $1,250 (discounted from a regular price of $1,500).

This horn is priced at only $979.00

It does come with a mouthpiece and a terrific Pro-Pak case which is built to house the extra Silver D Bell and extra slides. All slides and valves are in nearly unused condition and all work wonderfully.

As noted in photos, there are a few very slight dings and light scratches which do not affect the playing or beauty of the horn.
