My Bb trumpet is for sale. I bought it new and have owned it for 4 years. I personally broke the valves in, they work great with no hang-ups. Slides move great. I am missing the two 3rd slide nuts, but the slide stays put pretty well when it isn’t in use. Being my primary horn for many years, this horn has been used for a bajillion musicals, big bands, concert bands, orchestras, church gigs, weddings, recitals… if you’ve heard me play, you probably heard this trumpet. Sound and response are especially good. Selling because I just can’t justify owning two Bbs at this point in my life. It will be missed.

As far as condition, it is good for a horn that has seen constant use. I stripped the lacquer off the bell and leadpipe when I got it, and it has tarnished attractively. It is actually a pretty sexy trumpet. The bell has a couple of love dents, but as you can(’t) see in the picture, they are so small that a repair guy wouldn’t even bother to take them out, or even notice them. Valves are emaculate. Original case included for an extra $20.

Just e-mail me at AndrewHarms@umkc.edu if you are interested. I would accept Paypal or money order. Pictures below are very much “as is.”
