The Selmer "S Brace" trumpet was a horn that famous trumpeter Harry James preferred playing in his early days. He spent so much time with this instrument over time, that he was asked by Selmer to be photographed with the trumpet for their sales catalog, so many people associate him with this trumpet. This early version of Selmer's Signet trumpet is an excellent candidate for anyone looking to snag a classic jazz trumpet, but isn't looking to spend their life savings. This distinctive trumpet features Selmer's vintage dark lacquer that just looks better with age, and also comes with the original case and a Selmer X13 mouthpiece. Selmer's "S Braces" make this trumpet stand out from the rest of the section, and the tuning slide features a locking mechanism to help prevent accidental damage. Considering the cost of new professional trumpet outfits, this Selmer is a steal.
Our professional brass tech gave the trumpet a full disassembly and cleaning and the trumpet, case, and mouthpiece are all ready to take home. This trumpet's engraving is in absolutely beautiful shape, and needs to be seen up close to be truly appreciated, and approximately 75% of the instrument's original lacquer is intact. It's a real player, and a real looker as well, so come see for yourself! Come check it out at Horn Stash ASAP!
