This is a Vertuoso trumpet. It was crafted over a decade by Masashi Sugiyama, a jazz musician and instructor. The mouthpiece is made of nickel, and there are two 1st valve triggers, one with a finger hook and one without, allowing for different playing styles. Each trumpet undergoes thorough testing, inspection, and adjustment upon arrival, ensuring a reliable instrument not produced in mass quantities. The pistons are stainless steel, providing incredibly smooth and fast fingering. This instrument is versatile, suitable for all genres, with a blend of brightness, strength, flexibility, and a soft resonance. (Excerpt from YouTube, Google, etc.) I purchased this trumpet, but due to age, I can no longer play it effectively. I would like to pass it on to someone who can appreciate it, so please consider it. Please examine the photos for any lacquer wear or dents. The case is Yamaha, and a mouthpiece is not included, so please use your own.
