The Coppergate C Trumpet is ideal for the all-round orchestral trumpet player. Featuring a lacquered yellow brass bell and Cupronickel slides this well built and reliable instrument is ideal for trumpet players who need to play classical music without the need of transposing. With really stable intonation throughout the range this instrument is suitable for ensemble as well as solo performance. The trumpet also includes a case and mouthpiece to get going straight away. Transposing Made Easy! Many classical pieces of music were written for trumpets in differing keys including the C trumpet. Rather than transpose in to different keys from a Bb instrument this Coppergate Trumpet eliminates the need for transposing with a slightly smaller trumpet pitched in a more convenient key of C. Accurate Intonation Higher pitched cornets and trumpets generally suffer from intonation issues particularly on higher pitched notes. However the Coppergate C Trumpet does not suffer from these problems creating an instrument that is easy to get in tune but also to maintain tuning during performance. Robust Instrument The Coppergate C Trumpet has been built to be robust and hard wearing. Featuring a Yellow Brass bell design this instrument not only gives a warm and characterful tone but is also rugged and robust. The Cupronickel slides reduce tarnishing and rusting at points where moisture can build up meaning the instrument will last for many years with only minimal maintenance. The Stainless Steel eliminates tarnish and rust on the valves giving them a super fast response for years to come. Everything You Need The trumpet doesnt just come on its own. Included with this instrument is a mouthpiece that enables you to get playing straight out of the box. As well as this a hard case has been included meaning the instrument can be stored and carried safely.
