The BTR1660 was designed for a modern player that demands a versatile instrument. It features an American made one-piece, hand-hammered, side seam, yellow brass bell with a steel bell bead and two-piece valve casing with nickel balusters. The result is a resonant trumpet with great character and a broad range of color. Easy to play and even throughout, the sound is brilliant, providing great feedback and projection off the bell. Aiming for the American sound concept, the BTR1660 Artist Trumpet provides the build quality and precision expected by the advanced player of any age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBTR1660R with Raw Brass Finish: The finish on a trumpet is primarily aesthetic and a personal choice. The difference between a plated trumpet versus an unfinished instrument is tonally subtle. Buffed and polished, an un-plated raw trumpet will naturally tarnish over time. It provides the classic patina consistent with the character of a vintage brass instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eArtist Series\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a musician matures, there is increased awareness to pursue refinement through perseverance and dedication.

In collaboration with global manufacturers, the Artist Series models offer the highest level of craftsmanship demanded by a modern musician. The result is an instrument worthy of an established musician who is proficient yet still evolving; aspiring to be an acclaimed artist at the zenith of their career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey of Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.460-inch ML Bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Made 4 7\/8-inch Hand Hammered Seamed\nOne-Piece Yellow Brass Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless Steel Bead Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-Piece Yellow Brass Valve Casing with Nickel Balusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand Lapped Monel Valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Brass Lead Pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Brass Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel Silver Outer Slides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw Brass Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlessing 3C Trumpet Mouthpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlessing Trumpet Premium Maintenance Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlessing C1660TR Double Trumpet Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: E.K.
