The Capri Bb Herald Trumpet combines the big Getzen sound with the visual appeal to add to the pageantry of fanfare groups, marching bands, and festival occasions. The banner rings are spaced at 12" and the overall length of the instrument is 31¼" (without mouthpiece).
This herald trumpet is in very good playing condition and has been serviced by our professional brass technician. At one point, there were some dents in the bell's rim and crook, and also the 2nd valve tuning slide. Some scars/lacquer wear remains. There also evidence of some previous solder work on the bell's crook, as the ferrules look to be relacquered. There's also some mild lacquer wear on the valve casings and leadpipe from regular use, and no evidence of pitting or red-rot. One spot of plating wear can be found on the top of the 2nd piston, but all 3 valves still move as smoothly as one would expect from a Getzen trumpet. This instrument plays like a standard Bb trumpet. It comes with a Blessing Mello 6 mouthpiece, but can also fit a standard trumpet shank mouthpiece.
Make a splash at your next gig with a fanfare banner hanging from your herald trumpet!
