Silver-plated and versatile professional trumpet.
This is the XO 1602S-LTR, a recently introduced brand and model that has been warmly received in the professional brass community. It is known for its warm and buttery center and its brilliance and presence in the upper register or at louder dynamics. Its .460” bore and yellow brass body with 5.0" hand-hammered one-piece bell work together to create a beguiling mix of rich tonal textures. Hand-fitted, dual-lapped monel valves provide exceptionally fast action and quiet operation, and a two-piece valve casing and yellow brass balusters ensure precise alignment for smooth valve performance. Lightning fast action with broad emotional and tonal scope. If you like that sort of thing. What a beautiful horn.
This trumpet comes with a compact metal case that contains several very nice-to-have extras. It comes stock with its attractive pearl finger buttons, but the accessory case also includes a set of polished metal finger buttons, a set of lighter-action valve springs, and a heavier set of bottom valve caps.
