This is a pre-owned Calicchio Bb trumpet. It is silver plated with a #9 lead pipe and a #3 yellow brass bell. It is a hybrid of a medium bore valve block. 453 with medium large bore. It has had a precision valve alignment done through Osmun Music in Acton, MA. It has also been re-plated recently. The prep work was done by at Osmun Music and plating work was done through Anderson Silver Plating. This particular horn features a Los Angeles valve block and bell. The horn has been recently cleaned and serviced by Osmun Music and is ready to play right out of the box. New pads, corks, felts, etc. This is considered a lightweight, very free blowing horn that would lend itself perfectly for big band (especially lead chair) or commercial music. This horn is very quick responding and can be very bright and cutting with the right mouthpiece. From Calicchio’s website. This is the largest-flared bell that Calicchio offers. If you like a broad, warm, lush sound surrounding a powerful core and dense timbre, then this is the bell for you. It is used by lead, solo and section players alike, as the sound can be molded to fit any particular need. With the 2 or 3 leadpipes, it can handle the rigors of any lead or show book, but with the 7 or 9 pipe, it takes on a flavor reminiscent of the vintage Meha Bessons and large bore Martin Committee models. Big, warm, luxurious, fluid, and powerful are all words that describe the magic of this bell. The 9 pipe is our most free-blowing leadpipe. It gives you complete control of the trumpet, but allows you to play at any volume with ease and comfort, while always yielding a broad, gorgeous sound. If you like room to blow, yet still need a sharp, smooth attack, this is the choice. No case or mouthpiece included.
