This used Taylor Piranha with Getzen valve block is finished in scratch-brushed silver plate, and it's in good overall condition with a few spots where the plating has worn through - particularly on the main and third tuning slides. It plays fairly open with a thick, dark sound that can glow a bit brighter when pushed. The slots have some room to move around in, making this a great choice for jazz soloists looking for some serious depth to their sound. The highly domed finger buttons have pictures of Japanese cherry blossom trees, and the valves move very well, holding decent compression with a thicker oil like Berp 3. No case.
FROM TAYLOR:
This is the flagship model in our range of trumpets. Huge sound, flexibility, super wide dynamic range and such a cool look. Its an ML bore horn that sounds and responds like the very best large bore trumpets without needing an Olympic athletes lungs capacity to play it for any length of time! As if that wasn’t enough, it does all this at an impressively light weight. In a nutshell, all the power, projection and presence of a heavy large bore horn in a comfortable lighter ML easy to play package.
This is probably the most versatile ‘commercial’ trumpet on the market today (from any manufacturer). Maybe you’re thinking, surely there must be a downside? Well, you might get some strange looks from the other smartly dressed ladies and gentleman in the Symphony Orchestra!
