An attractive older British-made instrument with plenty of age and character.
The trumpet is working and can be tested. The valves operate and the instrument can be played/blown. However, due to its age and having been stored for some time, it would benefit from / requires a service, cleaning and lubrication before regular use. Prospective buyers are welcome to test it on collection.
The brass finish shows natural patina, tarnishing, surface wear, scratches and areas of finish/plating loss consistent with age. I have deliberately not polished the instrument, as a buyer may prefer to retain its original aged appearance.
Features:
* Embassy – Made in England * Vintage three-valve trumpet * Working and playable * All three valves operate * Requires a service * Mouthpiece included * Vintage fitted hard case included * Unrestored vintage condition * Can be tested on collection
Condition: Vintage used condition with visible tarnishing/patina, scratches, finish wear and general age-related marks. The valve buttons and fittings show wear and oxidation. The case also shows considerable age and wear internally.
Please note: Although the trumpet is working, it is being sold as an unserviced vintage instrument and will require a service/clean before regular playing. No guarantee is given as to professional playing condition.
