Brand new Taylor Chicago Standard in matte lacquer. Bell is scratch brushed underneath the matte lacquer. This stunning horn is a heavy beast with a huge bell and extra large bore. It has a smooth, creamy, enormous sound that will delight balladeers and soloists. The red brass bell gives you even more warmth, and the valves move extremely fast with a slightly short throw. Comes with original JP Pro double case.
FROM TAYLOR:
The benchmark for what could be referred to as the heavy horn brigade. It has the same internal tapers as the Chicago Lite so it is a comfortable easy responsive blow just like the Lite. Unlike some trumpets purporting to be heavyweights, the Standard (and the Custom) are not regular horns dressed up with weights attached. These are built from the outset with heavier gauge material, so the weight is where it should be, in the body and construction of the instrument. In a nutshell… built properly and built to last.
The Standard has a bit more dynamic range and power over the Lite. You can wind this thing up and it will never get brittle and course. It will keep its thick core sound and just get louder. One thing for sure, it will take however much ‘air’ you can throw at it. This makes it a great choice for jazz quartet or quintet. Sexy soft tones and this horn can be ‘punch in the face loud’ when you need to step on the volume pedal.
