I have played Piccolo trumpet since 1973, and have several, and although I play Eb cornet in one of the bands I participate in. Recently, due to family needs and obligations, I will be cutting back on my performing and plan to sell my large collection of horns. Keep me in mind for the near future if you are looking for American horns. My little devil is not included! I picked up a new CarolBrass pic trumpet like this in 2022, except it was copperplated and lacquered. Several of my friends couldn’t put it down, so I ordered a couple more one in copper and one in silver last fall. I did check it out and lubed the valves but the slides never got untied and none of the accessories were romoved from packing. I still have my old Stomvi, in case the piccolo bug comes back to bite me, but I need to sell this. I have noticed these CB pics are very popular with guys who play Bb almost exclusively. This instrument is in new, unused condition. The 2 11Ax mouthpieces (1 cornet, 1 trumpet shank) included are unopened in the boxes. I have collected, repaired, and played trumpets for over 48 years. As a knowledgeable and experienced amateur, I have a lower cost of operation than a commercial enterprise, and can keep my costs low. I have thoroughly inspected this instrument, replaced the felts and corks and aligned the valves as needed, and made sure that it plays properly, and has proper tone for your beginner. I have cleaned the instrument thoroughly, polished all slides to prevent corrosion from locking the slides and valves, and properly lubricated the instrument with high quality lubricant. Many teachers do have preferences, and this can affect a student’s progress. I will, however, flatly state that many of the “bargain basement” new instruments from the unknown manufacturers (even when they are branded, you may not know who made them) are inferior. Parts for repair, or even the repairs themselves are not available, due to odd pieces, or inferior materials. Internal dimensions and correct alloys are critical on all musical instruments. A shiny (or odd colored) instrument with inferior playing qualities will soon discourage even the most eager student. THIS DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. THE INSTRUMENT WILL BE PROPERLY PACKED, AND INSURED FOR THE SALE PRICE. Other locations please contact me. I WILL NOT insure this instrument for less than the sale price.
