Used Adams A6 Bb trumpet in lacquer, excellent condition. This horn is based on the classic Conn Connstellation 38B, with a tall wrap, small bore, and large bell. It has gorgeous wood inlays on the finger buttons, and the leadpipe is rose brass, which contrasts nicely with the otherwise yellow brass construction. In our playtesting, it had a wide sound that's easy to produce thanks to the small bore and big bell. The tall wrap and rose brass leadpipe give it a warm sound that lights up nicely with a shallower mouthpiece, and it projects very well. The stainless steel valves have very good action and compression, and there's no red rot or signs of repairs, just a tiny imperfection in the bell near the rim. The lacquer is in virtually like-new condition. Comes with original Gard single gigbag in excellent shape.


FROM ADAMS:

Adams A6 Trumpet

Originally based on the classic ‘Connstellation’ the A6 is a fantastic combination of old-world craftsmanship with some modern improvements. The instrument has been designed in collaboration with Adams Performing Artist Dontae Winslow.

This trumpet possesses many of the same features of the older instruments, such as the smaller bore 11mm, wide wrap, first valve trigger assembly and counterweights. While the original instrument is still quite wonderful, we worked at improving the intonation, centering and weight balance. The result of years of refining is the all new A6 Trumpet.
