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 medium-large bore, and changed a few manufacturing processes as well so more instruments could end up in the hands of players. This K-modified in particular is a lightweight model, manufactured using a thinner gauge of brass. Lightweight horns generally have a brighter response, as the metal of the instrument vibrates more freely than that of a standard-weight instrument. 

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 very good condition for its age. Our professional brass technician scrubbed this horn inside and out after its dip in our ultrasonic tank, and re-lubed the slides and valves, and gave it a lengthy play-test. 

Cosmetically, this horn is in very good condition. Some lacquer wear is evident on the 2nd valve slide crook, leadpipe, and on the bell crook, with a few more spots of wear on the valve casings, none of which impact the instrument's playability. It also appears that the 3rd valve slide may have been relacquered at some point, as the finish is slightly darker than the rest of the instrument. These issues are strictly cosmetic, and do not affect the way this instrument plays.
