Dear Ebayers,
Here we have a very nice example of a Natural or Baroque Trumpet. I say Natural Trumpet as it has no vent holes, but I also use the term Baroque because that's the period these instruments are most well know for. In my opion I'd say that the unknown maker of this instrument was basing this instrument on a late 18th Century which would be very useful for Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The Trumpet plays in D (A=440) and I would say is medium bore. The bell is quite large and modern for one of these horns (about 5 inches), but it seems to give the trumpet a lovely dark and warm sound across the whole harmonic series. The horn feels great to play: very flexible and very responsive. There are nicks and grazes on the trumpet but no dents worthy of note. I have no idea of the origin or the age of this horn, but it may well be that it is a ripe old age. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Overall the trumpet is in good playing shape and the condition is very evident in the pictures, could probably use a good polish. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I only accept paypal except if other payment methods are discussed prior to the end of the auction. I ship everywhere so happy bidding. Shipping is usually between 30 - 40 dollars US to the USA and other destinations will be calculated at the end of the auction.
