Crafted with the commercial trumpeter in mind, the A5 offers exceptional intonation, slotting, and response, catering to the demands of lead players. Surprisingly, its lightweight construction also appeals to classical artists seeking an easy-playing instrument, broadening its appeal beyond initial expectations.
Drawing inspiration from renowned vintage commercial trumpets (like Calicchio, Benge, and Besson), the A5 embodies the best features of each, enhanced by the superior Adams valve block. Despite its lightness, the horn packs a punch, delivering impressive performance even without specialized mouthpieces.
Includes Gard Elite single trumpet bag in black nylon with brown leather trim. Mouthpiece sold separately.
