The TP612N RS Berkeley Unlacquered Bb Trumpet is crafted for the advancing player who wants the open, free-blowing response and characteristic brilliance of a raw unlacquered finish. A hand-hammered one-piece bell, monel valves with Teflon guides and skeletonized casings, and a lightweight aluminum build give it the professional playing feel serious Intermediate and advanced players seek. The plush-lined backpack-style case keeps it protected while the unlacquered brass develops its own unique character over time.
