The Selmer K-Modified Bb Trumpet made in France by the Selmer Company. K-Modified refers to Selmer's decision to change a few key components of their instrument lines to make them more accessible to intermediate and seasoned professionals alike. The folks at Selmer thought their original trumpets were a little too resistant in their leadpipes and felt they needed to be opened up a bit, so they went from a medium bore to an ML bore, and changed a few manufactuing processes as well so more instruments could end up in the hands of players. 

This instrument has been serviced by our professional brass technician to ensure everything is moving properly. It was also disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned. This trumpet is in good condition for its age. The lacquer has been stripped off of this instrument, giving it a nice, even finish. Over time, a patina will darken this instrument's raw brass. We cannot guarantee that this instrument's finish will match the photos at time of purchase. The Selmer K Modified trumpet has a beautiful engraving on the bell and a trigger first valve slide.
