One of Trent's Americana Trumpets in Silver Plate!
Austin Custom BrassWe are very proud to introduce to the world the newest collaboration with Adams Brass the Americana!
This particular one is one of three Trent personally tested and performed with. This one recently was used with the Kansas City Symphony where Trent played Principal Trumpet!
You'll see a bit of signs of the leadpipe being removed and "clocked" to make the horn resonate the most. Some superficial silver wear is on the horn as well but otherwise this horn is in excellent condition and PLAYS great! Trent doesn't need 3 of them so he's parting with this one! Because of these silver imperfections we are deeply discounting this one! Grab it while you can!
If you are familiar with the Adams Trumpet line you probably know there are a lot of options in their custom series line and in fact Trent has worked on many of the designs at the factory with Miel Adams. This new trumpet is very different from all of their custom options.
One thing at ACB that we achieved with this horn is a more streamlined sound shape. A sound shape with tons of core and spin. We also wanted an ergonomic valveset and Adams agreed to do this for us. The all-now bell and leadpipe combination not found on any current Adams instrument are geared for commercial/recording situations and they remind us of that classic sound color you hear in the LA studios (think Uan Rasey, Chuck Findley, Conrad Gozzo, etc).
Here are some of the features of this horn:
ML .460 Bore
Ergonomic offset valve block
One-piece bell in yellow brass
Efficient leadpipe with good resistance and core
Lightweight horn with great balance overall
Single Saturn waterkey on main tuning slide
This horn is a limited edition and we will only make 50 of these special trumpets (unless we can convince the factory otherwise). This particular horn is in silver plate, and is being offered at a dicsount. It has been demo'd in the shop, and we have swapped the leadpipe out a few times for testing purposes, so we cannot sell it as new, although it has only been played in the shop. This one won't last long at this price!
