Custom Edwards Gen III Bb Trumpet

This great horn (since discontinued by Edwards)  plays just great and was acquired in a recent trade with a large Organization.  New these horns were close to $4000 and made 100% in the USA.  Truly a steal at this price!

General Condition notes:

• Plier marks on leadpipe receiver

• Stand marks in bell

• MTS has repair marks across entire bend 

• Scratches on valve block

• screw system needed repair but we fixed that and it's good to go!

   

• Great valves and sound!

Generation Series Leadpipes

The Gen II, III, and X series trumpets utilize the Edwards Leadpipe System (ELS), which allows a player to change leadpipes effortlessly and efficiently. The ELS allows you, the player, to change the compression levels of the instrument to your individual playing characteristics.

The Edwards leadpipe slips into a retaining tube that is soldered to the valve body. This retaining tube improves the stability of the instrument and keeps the leadpipe in 100% alignment with the tuning slide. The fixed nature of this system also eliminates all sympathetic vibrations that are commonly found among other modular trumpets.

Leadpipe:  D4

Tuning slide:

Generation III & X

The unique shape of our ovate tuning slide, a more gradual slope into a sharper bend, creates a very open blow yet still provides needed compression, albeit a different compression than our standard slides. Players can achieve a fluidity throughout the partials with this tuning slide. If you want more traditional slotting, the Gen II is probably the instrument for you. We recommend play testing the Gen III(X) to see if its design meets your needs.

Because the ovate tuning slide is longer than our standard slides, it is only available on our Gen III and X lines. Those horns' designs compensate for the added length.
