The Buescher 225/400 has been described as a lead player's ideal horn, and a perfect alternative to the Martin if budget is an issue. This trumpet is no exception to that feedback. What this horn is lacking in looks, it makes up for in how it plays. It's got a beautiful, smokey, dark sound that would be ideal for solo performance. 

There is a patch along the trumpet's leadpipe, and one on the bow of the bell as well. Neither of these patches were installed here, and they were likely installed using old lead solder.  There are a few touches of original lacquer left remaining on the tuning slides, but the majority of the instrument is in a raw brass finish. This instrument has been inspected by our professional trumpet technician, and it's ready to go. This Buescher 400 series is a serious player so make sure to stop by and check it out soon!

Stand not included.
