This professional trumpet is in excellent overall condition, and performs on par with most Bach and Yamaha pro models. The silver plating is at 99%, with only minor surface scratches, and the valve and slide action are like new. Includes a Protec Max backpack-style case. A pro trumpet for a great price!
It was handmade by B&S in Germany, and sold under a regional music store's brand. It is comparable to the B&S Challenger 1 model, just with a different logo on the bell. The bell engraving states "Made In Germany", and it has B&S serial numbers stamped on both the valves and mouthpiece reciever.
B&S made professional trumpets for American brands like the Cannonball 725, F Schmidt 37S, Accent TR-900, and Accent TR-950 models. This trumpet was Accent's top model until the 2010s, before they focused on Asian-made student instruments. Designed to "Challenge" the Bach Stradivarius model, it features a 43 style bell known for exceptional tonal color and clarity, a standard 25 style leadpipe for excellent reponse and controlled feel, Monel valves for consistent and smooth action, and it is silver plated with gold-plated trim.
