Used Inderbinen Custom Bb trumpet made for modern jazz luminary Theo Croker, in excellent condition. The bell finish is raw brass with an antique treatment that gives it almost a wood-like appearance, while the body has bronze and nickel silver casings with yellow brass slides, leadpipe, and trim. We gave it a professional cleaning and precision valve alignment, and it is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. This is a very interesting horn to play: wide open and very dark with immaculate response and slotting--flexible and secure at the same time. The Bauerfeind valves are smooth and fast, and the horn has some unique touches like the bar-style pinky hook and 3rd slide release lever. Despite the huge bore and bell, it's remarkably easy to play at very soft dynamics, and of course it will take all the air you can give it. No case.
