From Adams: 

"The Adams A3 trumpet feels comfortable in both symphonic and studio settings. The instrument ideally adept in jazz, commercial, and classical music this is a very popular choice for the trumpeters of today who want a horn with versatility in terms of the sound shape and articulation spectrum. A horn with a bright open sound and great flexibility.

The A3 Trumpet has a ML bore of 0.460 (11.7mm). It has a slightly smaller bell diameter than the A1 and A2 trumpets at 122mm and a thicker gauge of 0.60. The heavier gauge is balanced with a reverse leadpipe producing a very efficient instrument."

Adams Brass has been becoming more and more popular by the day here in the United States, and we've sold quite a few of their new instruments. This would be our first used Adams instrument we've gotten the chance to sell, and it's a beauty! The silver plate on this horn is in superb condition, and the only blemish to be found is on the 2nd valve tuning slide where our professional brass technician needed to replace one of pull knobs. When the original pull knob fell off, it took some plating with it, so some yellow brass is showing through around the knob itself, but that's the only spot of plating wear we can find. Otherwise, this horn got a cleaning in our ultrasonic tank, and then a hand polish. Once it was play-tested, it was given our tech's stamp of approval, and brought up for sale. 

It's in excellent shape, and will be an excellent trumpet for anyone looking for a versatile horn that will fit in any musical setting. Stop by Horn Stash today to check it out.
