S.E. Shires "Q" Series Piccolo Trumpet!
One of our favorite Piccolo Trumpets and a very popular selling trumpet (with good reason)! These are excellent.
This particular one came to us with a minor crease in the bell which our expert techs got out. There's some waviness in the bell if you run your hand on it but otherwise it looks great and plays GREAT!
Call us at 816-410-0826 for a great DEAL on this one.
From Shires:
"The Model Q9S piccolo trumpet produces a beautiful singing sound with marvelous projection and easy, centered response in all registers. Similarly to our Custom Series Piccolo Trumpet, this instrument is agile enough to perform the most delicate solo and chamber music, and offers power enough to project through the largest ensembles. Our piccolo bells are handcrafted using the same artisanal processes employed in the manufacturing of our larger bells, resulting in the same superior playing characteristics and richness of sound. The solid four-valve cluster with nickel-silver balusters adds stability and clarity to the playing feel of the instrument, while the unique, ergonomic placement of the fourth valve allows it to be played comfortably by either the right or the left hand. The instrument comes complete with two tunable leadpipe bits, allowing the player to perform in B or in A on trumpet-shank mouthpieces."
