This King 1117 Trumpet is an American-style 'Marching' trumpet, built for power and style. A perfect instrument for lead-playing over amplified instrument, Ska or jazz styles, or playing at a long distance outside.
This trumpet is designed to facilitate a huge sound, and the 'high-energy manoeuvres' associated with the American marching-band style.
Wear & Tear Observations: It is very unusual to see a trumpet of this kind in such a good condition. There are a few very minor scratches and nicks from use, with one larger aberration on the bottom of the tuning slide section. Some very minor lacquer marks near the bottom valve caps, and a larger blemish on the block-bell stay, but otherwise the lacquer is in very good condition.
The previous owner had some minor customisation done, and moved the stays and finger hook. There is a very small amount of visible solder associated with these adjustments, but it has been done very well.
