This trumpet is in excellent shape! The stainless steel valves have tested within like-new compression range, and there are no major dents or signs of damage. This example features a brushed raw brass finish, polished valve casing and inner bell flare, and nickel-silver knuckle accents. It also includes a triple trumpet case. Priced to sell, get it before its gone!
Playability
Taylor trumpets are world-renowned for their unique construction and tone, and this one is no exception! The feel and resistance is very even and easy across the horn, and it can both project and sizzle when pushed or resonate and mellow out at low volume. The trumpet itself is well balanced compared to most "heavy-weight" horns that come through the shop, and would not feel out of place in a jazz studio or the concert hall.The Lite version of their premium Chicago line features a slimmer profile than the Standard model, with just the right thickness of tubing and bracing at optimized points. Featuring a one-piece sculpted leadpipe and classic Z braces, it is one of their most responsive and versatile models ever made. The bell is classic Taylor, a huge 5.75" diameter that produces a rich, fat tone with great stability and projection. However, the Lite model's overall design allows it to blend very well with other trumpets, we believe the best of the Chicago line.

"Lightest of the Chicago line featuring the one piece machined from solid brass rod leadpipe. Having no solder joins to break, results in a more even transmission of energy along the full length of the receiver and leadpipe. An even taper throughout the leadpipe and consistent metal structure helps to create a super even response throughout the range both tonally and response wise. Very versatile, easy to play solid powerhouse of a horn. A great instrument for ensemble playing as well as jazz." - Taylor Trumpet
