Insight Copper+Bronze

This is a prototype of my "Insight" model. This trumpet is designed for soloists and features a 140mm diameter Taylor bell made with a copper stem and bronze flare. The leadpipe has an extra-large venturi and small mouthpiece gap to maximize flexibility and create large targets for the notes. It's built on an ML bore Meinlschmidt (non-MAW) block. Condition is like-new. The only mileage on this horn is from play testing in a controlled environment, so the valves and slides are like-new. It's finished in raw brass and is on its way towards developing a nice patina.
