S.E. SHIRES TRQ15S E♭/D Trumpet Q Series, silver-plated, with case

A fantastic E♭/D trumpet, the model Q15S trumpet features our popular E♭/D open bell taper which produces a big, powerful sound with easy response. Matched with a .345” venturi yellow brass leadpipe, this trumpet provides an ideal combination of efficiency and flexibility, allowing the player to produce the most delicate passages with ease. Nickel-silver balusters and valve caps add brilliance and character to the sound, increase its core, and contribute to cleanness and immediacy of attack. Interchangeable first and third valve slides allow the instrument to be played in either E♭ or D.
