Prototype Insight w/ Taylor bell

Demo Insight model with two-piece Taylor bell, sterling silver leadpipe, and heavy valve block. This trumpet was built as a one-off with a standard taper bell (similar to a 37) with a larger diameter and bronze flare. The sterling silver leadpipe has a standard wall thickness, but the heavier sterling alloy improves projection. The Z-braces are machined from solid nickel silver and contribute to this instrument's unique response. This trumpet has an especially rich and creamy sound with excellent fluidity. Despite its heavy stature, this trumpet is quite nimble and has a vibrant sound. The finger buttons are inlaid with synthetic opal.
