The 180 series is the best-selling professional trumpet line in the world, and the 18037 is its classic setup. With a #37 bell, #25 leadpipe, and .459" medium-large bore, it gives you a rich tone with even intonation and response from top to bottom. It's a versatile horn that's equally at home in jazz, concert, and solo playing.
What the model number means
