This trumpet has just been serviced by New York’s top woodwind tech Emile Catricala and plays perfectly through the entire range. Valves are in great condition and all slides and keys move freely. For an intermediate player to succeed on trumpet they need a free blowing instrument, and this one fits the bill perfectly. There are some small cosmetic imperfections (see pictures of scratches and small dings) but nothing that affects tone or playability. This is a great deal on an instrument that originally sold for over $800. I take pride in my perfect seller rating and want you to love your new instrument. I offer a 30 day no questions asked return policy for the full purchase price O348
