Slightly more resistance than a large bore instrument.
The C1 Traditional Custom Series trumpet is among one the most popular Traditional Custom Series models, ideal for the player needing slightly more resistance than a large bore instrument. The bore design of the C1 trumpet allows for security when performing solo literature, chamber music and lighter playing. With the combination of a medium-large bore and a large throat bell, this design offers the player an immediate attack clarity, even scale and brilliant tone.
The C1 trumpet is available in two variations—a fixed yellow brass bell or a tunable yellow brass bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
