Item Specs
This brand new , beautiful Bb Piccolo Trumpet is made of fine quality brass and has a highly polished chrome plated silver look, a good quality mouthperice and a free case
It has four valves to generate very strong and loud melodies with orchestra , jazz , marching and symphonic bands. Its versitality is such that it can be played quite softly to suit a more lyrical style or as a solo instrument to accompany the piano.
The great excitement that was felt by trumpet players when the piccolo trumpet was invented probably was felt by the whole world. Now the "Brandenburg Concerto," one of the highest and most difficult pieces ever written for trumpet, was a reality for most players instead of a distant dream. A piccolo trumpet still takes a lot of maturity and a certain degree of talent to play, but it does lower the fundamental an octave, making centering pitches easier. A piccolo trumpet has half the amount of tubing that a regular trumpet does. This causes it to be pitched at an octave above a regular trumpet in the same key. The Bb/A offers players the ability to play in the key of Bb and A on the same trumpet with a handy mouthpiece extension. For this reason, it has become the most popular type of piccolo trumpet used at the present.
Many piccolo trumpets have four valves. The first three serve the same purpose as the three valvesof a standard mezzo-soprano trumpet. The fourth valve lowers the pitch a perfect fourth, so it is roughly equivalent to the combination of the first and third valves. (It is usually not exactly equivalent because generally the combination of first and third valves is sharp, whereas the player tunes the fourth valve to give an in-tune perfect fourth.) Contrary to popular belief, playing a piccolo trumpet does not automatically extend the performer's high range. It does, however, reduce the number of possible notes that can be played with any given fingering, thus potentially transforming blatantly wrong high notes into merely cracked or out-of-tune notes. This in itself would not account for the instrument's popularity. Rather, the piccolo trumpet is valued for the tone it produces, which is a result of its shorter tubing, smaller bell, proportionally narrower tubing, and the somewhat shallower mouthpiece cup and different mouthpiece backbore often employed by its players
More common in other musical venues, such as baroque chamber music and brass ensembles, the piccolo trumpet nevertheless has a role in jazz and big band music.
It comes complete with free of charge plush hardcase!

These trumpets are the result of 3 years work with professional brass band players throughout Southern California with one objective in mind: Take a hand-made Asian (India which has long history and expertise of making western instruments) instrument and improve the design and overall quality to a level that will make it an excellent instrument for both a beginner/ intermediate player.
One of the things we kept hearing about the inexpensive instruments found all over eBay was that the sound was stuffy, leaked air, they were hard to blow, they weren't in tune with themselves and that they would actually get in the way of a student trying to learn. We promise that will NOT be the case with our instruments. We have worked very hard to get the quality where it needs to be while still keeping the price low.
The weight, balance and comfort of the instrument have also been given extra attention, so that when you pick it up, it feels right.
Ask for brand history and credentials to separate the wheat from the chaff which is only too evident in online sales!! Our products and immaculate reputation in the music industry both on and offline are real testimonials to our credentials among many other things (We supply our instruments to some of the largest distribution companies worldwide).

Quantum of import duty depends on your country's laws although in most cases they are 20-30% of item value plus taxes in Europe. Australian customers usually pay 15-20%. There are no import duties in USA for single item purchases.
This is a small cost you will have to bear directly for buying internationally at prices 3-5 times lower than your local prices. We are clearly not responsible for import levies and will not be held liable for these import charges if any.
