【Rare】JAPAN Vintage Nikkan No.2A Trumpet Thank you for viewing. This is a Nikkan No.2A for sale. The Nikkan No.2A model (the predecessor to Yamaha) is said to have been designed in the 1960s, modeled after the C.G. CONN 22B NY Symphony, which was used by many professional players in American symphony orchestras. Like the NY Symphony, all parts are made of yellow brass. Currently, only Yamaha's high-end models like the YTR-8330EM use all yellow brass, making this a luxurious material composition. Each trumpet is handmade by craftsmen, making each one unique. The body is MS bore with a yellow brass bell and lacquer finish. It uses an MS (medium-small) bore, which is extremely difficult to obtain in modern piston valve type trumpets, unlike current YAMAHA models, and is still a popular model. The MS bore (narrow bore) is characterized by its ease of playing with less breath, producing a clear sound. The design allows for easy airflow and sound production, making it recommended for beginners. I have confirmed that it can be played smoothly from the low register to the high register. It has a bright and clear tone. I have confirmed sound production from low A♭ to high C two octaves above. Tuning is possible with the main tuning slide. All slides can be removed. The second valve finger button was lost, so a substitute is installed. There are minor scratches, peeling plating, and rust, but it can be said that the condition is relatively good for its age. This is a used item, so I will only conduct transactions with those who understand used items. It is not recommended for those who are sensitive. We do not accept complaints or returns after the transaction is completed. Please understand this before purchasing. Thank you very much.
