Shires Q11RS C Trumpet - Q Series - Serial #: Q2262-DL (Pre-Owned)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Shires C trumpet is in surprising shape for a \"pre-owned\" horn. Most stores would consider this \"demo\" or \"B-stock\" in this condition. It was briefly played by one adult owner, with no major signs of wear or repair, great valve compression, and 99% original silver plating remains. It includes the original Shires case, 1.5C mouthpiece, and polishing cloth. It has been ultrasonically cleaned and inspected by our world-class shop. For half the new price, this is an excellent deal on a professional C trumpet!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis specific model has very similar specs to the Yamaha Chicago Artist series trumpets, with a hidden reversed leadpipe, YS style bell, and two-piece valve casing with nickel upper balusters and outer slides. This produces a trumpet with a smooth and responsive feel, and excellent control and projection. It is one of the few models made with these premium features and hand-built craftmanship, normally seen at two to three times this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompression\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLubrication used: JM #1 (light) on pistons \/ JM #5 (light) on 1st \u0026amp; 3rd slide \/ JM #7 (heavy) on 2nd \u0026amp; main tuning slide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1st: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2nd: 1.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3rd: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadpipe - 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall compression: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Shires: \"A fantastic orchestral C trumpet, the model Q11RS trumpet features our more open bell taper which produces a big, powerful sound with easy response. Matched with a firm, yet flexible slotting reverse leadpipe, this trumpet achieves an ideal balance of breadth, clarity, agility, and projection. Nickel-silver balusters and valve caps add brilliance and character to the sound, increase its core, and contribute to cleanness and immediacy of attack.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1792442133418_635\" data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eKey: C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBore: .462 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1792442133418_634\"\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1792442133418_633\" class=\"\"\u003eBell: 4 13\/16-inch, one-piece, hand-hammered open QII taper in yellow brass with round brass bead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1792442133418_638\"\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1792442133418_637\" class=\"\"\u003eLeadpipe: hidden, reversed QRS construction with .348-inch venturi, heavyweight yellow brass; open and free blowing with well-defined slots and easy response\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTuning Slide: QWR in yellow brass with nickel outer slide and ferrules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePiston material: hand-lapped Monel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eValve cluster: two-piece casings, standard weight, with nickel balusters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTop valve caps: Nickel Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLower valve caps: Nickel Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBell engraving: S.E.
