Edwards Trumpets are well known for being responsive, lively instruments, and for being fantastically well made trumpets. This Generation II Trumpet features Edwards’ K series bell with a medium-large throat and a 4.75” bell flare for a compact, vibrant tone. The bell is made from a heavy weight bronze to give plenty of power and projection.
The Gen II has the rounded, D-shaped standard tuning slide which helps attain a very even airflow with moderate resistance. Articulation is clean and easy and punchy to complement the powerful bell. The Edwards trumpet also features interchangeable leadpipes, with the BD1, D4 and A1 variants included as extras with this instrument. The BD1 is a tighter venturi leadpipe and offers a free blowing, brilliant tone. The D4 has a wider venturi and gives a lower level of resistance compared to the BD1.
This trumpet is in excellent condition having been very well maintained through its life and it benefits from Edwards superb valve action. The silver plate is in excellent condition throughout, just the usual signs of use. The gold plated top and bottom caps and finger buttons add a beautiful extra flair to the trumpet. There is some wear to the bottom of the bottom caps where the gold plating is wearing through, but also included is a set of silver plated tops caps and finger buttons, giving the player a different option! No mouthpiece is included with this trumpet.
