Overview
A one-piece, hand-hammered bell leads the build of this Stradivarius Bb trumpet, joined to a standard construction mouthpipe. The brass body is silver-plated and polished, and a case and mouthpiece come with it.
The large bore gives the player more control and better response, which is why the description suits it to orchestral work. It is also called well suited to many musical settings. Bore size is left unquantified, and the dimension entry looks like a boxed measure.
Who it's for
Players moving up from a student horn who want a hand-hammered bell and a case. Those who need a different key or a smaller bore should look at other horns.

Performance notes
A one-piece bell is formed from a single sheet, which affects how the sound projects, and the large bore lets air move freely for control and response. The mouthpipe sets the feel of the lead pipe. Silver plating covers the brass body.
